PA File Sight 3.4

PA File Sight will help you determine who is reading from and writing to important files. It will tell you when a new file is created or renamed. And, when a file gets deleted, PA File Sight can tell you who deleted the file. Plus, you'll know what program was used to perform the action.

Besides many standard notification and logging actions that come standard with the product, the Pro Edition helps you further by providing reports to help see what has happened in the past, whether you were notified about it or not.

PA File Sight's active file tracking can be an important part of your Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and more. Plus, with the built in security settings, you'll know nobody is tampering with your PA File Sight installation.

Some of the easy to use features include:

Monitor all files or a subset of files on a local disk for changes, deletes, etc.
Receive notifications via email, SMS, SNPP pager, etc
Record file access, user and program to log files
(Pro only) Record file access to a database, and generate reports on specified files, users, access type or time ranges

Ad hoc reports to quickly get answers based on data already collected.
