    Overview
    Agentless, remote and non-intrusive, FileAudit offers a simple more user-friendly way to safeguard and secure file access in a Windows environment. FileAudit provides real-time monitoring and alerting on all access (or access attempts). FileAudit also implements contextual functions such as mass access and alteration alerts, tracking source IP address information for remote data access, and providing granular time and date alerting parameters to monitor folder and file access at unusual or unexpected times.
    PA File Sight is file access 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, renamed or moved. And, with our file watcher, when a file or folder gets deleted, PA File Sight can tell you who did it and what computer they did it from (IP address and computer name).
