Disconnected identity systems create the access risk, audit friction, and IT overhead that identity governance and administration (IGA) is built to close. The 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found credential abuse in 39% of breaches. IGA combines policy, certification, and compliance evidence with automated provisioning, deprovisioning, and access requests to keep access aligned with business needs and reduce that risk.

DLP false positives bury real incidents under benign alerts and push teams to switch off the controls they bought. Most of that noise is configuration. Classify sensitive data before enforcement, pair content matches with identity and destination context, phase policies from simulation to blocking, and read override reasons as a tuning signal. Track the trend per policy, and you can show an auditor what the controls do.

Unmanaged, long-lived keys weaken visibility, audit readiness, operational continuity, and cyber resilience, making API key management critical across non-human identities. An effective program maintains inventory and ownership, enforces least privilege and secure storage, and automates rotation, monitoring, and revocation across each key's lifecycle.

MITRE ATT&CK's detection analytic for adversaries mining SharePoint describes bulk access to files and metadata in a short window by privileged or rarely used accounts. That is also a description of Microsoft 365 Copilot answering a question. The technique hasn't changed, but the baseline has, and the exposure now happens with no vulnerability, no compromised credential, and no malicious intent anywhere in the chain.

Within Netwrix Security Research, we were helping a customer with an Entra ID assessment and knew they'd already done AD tiering on-prem. We also knew they had domain controllers virtualized in Azure, but it was hard to tell which Windows Server was actually a DC. We figured out that Azure Run Command lets you run commands as SYSTEM, so we used that to do reconnaissance and identify the DCs.

AI governance in healthcare has become a question boards and auditors ask directly. They want to know which AI tools reach protected health information, who's accountable for each one, and what evidence shows the controls are holding. Most health systems have a written policy and no way to produce those three answers on request, which is precisely what an auditor tests. Healthcare organizations adopted AI faster than they built the governance to account for it.

NIS2 changes what "good enough" security looks like for a huge slice of the European economy. If your organization operates in energy, transport, finance, health, digital infrastructure, or any of the other sectors the directive designates as critical infrastructure, you can no longer choose whether to formalize your cybersecurity risk management. Instead, you have to decide how fast you can prove it.

Shadow AI now contributes to one in five data breaches, and Linux endpoints, where most developers work, largely lack DLP enforcement. That means engineers can upload code to AI tools, copy files to USB or Bluetooth devices, sync data to personal cloud storage, and move files through network shares undetected. HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and CMMC hold organizations accountable regardless of this coverage gap. Netwrix Endpoint Protector extends content-aware inspection and device control to Linux.

A device inventory tells you where the machines are, while a privilege inventory tells you where an attacker can go. An endpoint record can show that a machine exists, who owns it, and whether a management agent has checked in. It does not show who can administer that machine. That distinction matters because an attacker doesn't need a complete asset inventory. A valid privileged path to one useful endpoint may be enough.

Security maturity isn't a single score. It's identity, access, data, and AI exposure, each moving at a different pace. Dirk Schrader, Field CISO (EMEA) and VP of Security Research at Netwrix, walks through what that actually means for how you assess your posture. Take the assessment maturity.netwrix.com.

As access changes constantly and sensitive data moves faster than security teams can track, visibility matters more than ever. Helen R., Director of Engineering at Netwrix, explains why identity and data security can’t operate in silos anymore, especially in the age of AI. Have questions about identity governance, AI, or protecting sensitive data? Experts at Netwrix, including Helen, are helping organizations navigate these challenges every day.

Sensitive data no longer lives in one place. It moves across file servers, SaaS apps, cloud platforms, and collaboration tools. That’s why discovering sensitive data once is not enough. In this video, Farrah Gamboa, Senior Director of Product Management at Netwrix, explains why data visibility must be continuous to keep data security manageable.

Safeguarding business-critical and regulated data like customer records, financial information and intellectual property is critical to the success of the entire organization. However, your goal should not be to build a fortress. Rather accept that your network will inevitably be breached from the outside and attacked from within, so you should build a layered defense strategy that helps you both minimize your attack surface and spot suspicious behavior in time to respond effectively.

In today's digital world, the problem of data theft by departing employees goes far beyond stealing the names of a few customers or a product design sketch; it can mean the loss of gigabytes of critical corporate intelligence and legally protected information like customer cardholder data. Plus, ex-employees have even more avenues for using the data they steal - they can use it against their former employers, leak it to competitors, sell it to the highest bidder or simply publish it on the internet.

Although most IT pros are aware of the benefits that technology integrations promise, many of them are reluctant to take on integration projects. They know all too well that many vendor products simply aren't designed to be integrated with other systems; the lack of an application programming interface in particular is a huge red flag. Fortunately, there are vendors, such as ServiceNow and Netwrix, that enable organizations to reap the benefits of integration without having to invest lots of time and money.

It's hard to imagine an organization today that does not rely on file servers, SharePoint or Office 365 for storing data, including valuable and sensitive information such as intellectual property and personal data. This makes these systems particularly attractive targets for all sort of attackers, from external hackers to disgruntled employees. To protect data from both external and internal threats, businesses must regularly conduct thorough data security assessments as part of their broader cyber security assessments.

Orchestrate IT security with your data at its core. Netwrix solutions empower you to identify and classify sensitive information with utmost precision; reduce your exposure to risk and detect threats in time to avoid data breaches; and achieve and prove compliance.
Data Security Done Right:
- Consistency in the Approach. Confidence in the Results. Ensure your cybersecurity efforts are laser-focused on truly important data, instead of false positives that do not require protection. Our unified platform identifies and classifies your sensitive, regulated or mission-critical information consistently and accurately — including both structured and unstructured data, whether it’s on premises or in the cloud.
- Reduce Risk. Prevent Breaches. Do you know if the sensitive data you store is overexposed? Who can access it? What activity is going on around it? Netwrix solutions help you answer these key questions and ensure that risk-appropriate security controls are implemented around your most critical data. Plus, the platform enables you to detect abnormal activity early and respond before a threat turns into a breach.
- Achieve Compliance. Deliver Hard Evidence. Assess the effectiveness of the data security controls across your entire infrastructure so you can remediate any flaws before auditors come to call. Get the hard evidence you need to demonstrate to auditors that your controls adhere to their regulations and quickly answer any ad-hoc questions.
Data Centric. Laser Focused.
