File Auditing Software Is a Useful Tool For Employees and Management

by Vanessa C. Sales Manager of DefendX Software
File auditing is a valuable tool to aid companies in the protection of data, client and internal security, and ensuring a safe and trusted environment. Employees must be educated on all of the information they are permitted to access company files. The employees must be informed that the use of company resources can be monitored by file auditing software. Active monitoring of employee usage will reduce the potential for a breach.

There are many potential scenarios where an employee activity can access a file. While this is often a concern of small businesses, large businesses are not always aware of their employee activities. This can result in a significant loss of business if an employee misuses the company's resources.

There are many causes for an employee to misuse company resources. Some examples are an employee being under a great deal of stress, being assigned to challenging tasks, having a personal computer that is not being used for productive reasons, or failing to do what is required by the company's policies. In any of these cases, file auditing software can be helpful.

Most businesses need to conduct business using computers. A computer network is important for conducting business because it provides a source of information about what is going on within the company. If the computer network is tampered with, the internet could be affected. This could be disastrous to a company's business.
If malicious codes are discovered on a computer, then it is useless. These codes would allow someone to gain access to sensitive information such as financial records and customer accounts. It is also a safety issue if a hacker gains access to a company's computer network.

Network security has been a concern of both big and small businesses. Any system that is designed to protect the information of the company is a good idea. Both customer and internal information should be protected so that there is less risk for any unauthorized individuals.

If a customer has an account with a company, then they won't likely be affected by a breach if the network is secure. On the other hand, private information is something that should be safeguarded. Internal communications, notifying employees, and keeping the client up to date with what is going on in the business world can all be traced back to a computer network.

There are several ways to monitor employee usage. However, the most secure and effective way is using a file auditing program. There are several different types of programs that are designed to protect sensitive information and keep it out of the wrong hands.

One example of a file audit software is a user-friendly interface that is easy to use. This program makes it simple for employees to access files so that they are being used properly. Another advantage of the software is that it allows employees to continue working even when they are not supposed to be working without risking their jobs.

A user-friendly interface is just one of the features of the program. Another feature is the ability to view all files at once. Each data is kept in separate folders, so only one user can see them at a time. When a file is viewed, the user is notified that it has been accessed, even if a user has already removed it from the system.

Some systems are able to provide users with their security features, which include deleting files, giving access to a system for the user, and the system can report on system usage and error rates. This can help monitor employee behavior. Some systems also offer one-click reporting of system performance so that the user can see how the system has performed over time. There are some systems that offer the ability to store information such as the user's password so that it is easy to recover in the event of a loss of system resources.

The size of a system can be another factor that makes it hard to monitor appropriately. For instance, a server of 100 files may require more than a desktop computer to store all the information. Therefore, for very large systems, this type of program can be beneficial.
