Many organizations must comply with security regulations that require vigilance in user access to areas of the network containing personal data or other restricted or sensitive information. An HR folder containing employee Social Security numbers or a Legal Department share would both contain files whose access permissions would need to be regularly analyzed for access and security compliance.
Security Notify policies let you specify the shares or folders to be analyzed, the frequency of this analysis through scheduled scans, and the administrators who are to be notified when changes in access permissions take place.
Analysis is performed through scans conducted by the Phoenix Agents and stored in the SQL Server database. When File Dynamics determines any changes in permissions to the folder or share, notifications are sent via email and specify the added, modified, or removed permissions for users and groups.
