File access auditing... ...without the pain |
PA File Sight 5.1 - File Monitoring and Auditing
| PA File Sight is a file monitoring software that will help you determine who is reading from and writing to important files. It can tell you when a new file or folder is created or renamed. And, with our file watcher, when a file or folder gets deleted, PA File Sight can tell you who did it. Plus, you can often find out what program was used to perform the action. |
Besides file access auditing and logging actions, the Ultra Edition helps you further by providing historical reports to help see what happened the earlier, whether you chose to be notified or not. AND it lets you alert on user usage patterns (reading X files in Y time for example) to help detect file copying activity.
