Keeping an eye on your critical systems is an essential part of any IT team’s day-to-day operations. Effective system monitoring ensures your systems remain available for users, and enables you to react quickly in unexpected situations like ransomware attacks or unplanned outages. With the right monitoring solution, your team can keep of track of everything and quickly identify and resolve any issues that arise.
Monitoring
Protect Business-Critical Data
The importance of data for companies is undeniable. Data has become one of the most essential resources of our time. Unstructured data plays a key role: it contains precious insights about customers, insider knowledge, company finances, and more. To safeguard that mission-critical data, businesses need to understand and keep track of data types, usage and permissions. This also gives them the chance to analyze the insights and make key business decisions. If the worst comes to the worst, they have a clear advantage: complete documentation of what happened to the data.
Different Types of Monitoring
Data security solutions enable organizations to monitor, manage, protect, recover, and control access to their systems and the data stored on them.

File Monitoring
Staying ahead of growing storage needs is a real challenge for organizations – especially those managing multiple data centers. Data security, which also includes reliable protection against ransomware, is their responsibility. As the volume of data continues to grow, storage administrators often struggle to determine what data an organization has, what it consists of, how old it is, and who has access to it. Cases of insider threats and massive data breaches are also on the rise, making it all the more important to monitor file activity on a regular basis. -
Permission Monitoring
Due to the complexity, it is difficult to get a holistic overview of user and access permissions across the company. Which users have access to which folders and files? Have there been internal promotions or job changes that resulted in users having access to files they shouldn’t have? No organization is safe from insider threats. To detect and prevent them, organizations need proactive and modern solutions that complement traditional cybersecurity tools and monitor permissions in real time. -
Monitoring Infrastructure Components
Regardless of industry, no company can afford downtime, not even for a moment. System failures can have a significant impact on business performance, resulting in wasted time and lost revenues – not only while restoring systems, but also in terms of lost productivity and damaged reputation. Without monitoring, large failures can go unnoticed for a long period of time and cause significant damage. Active monitoring enables companies to take action immediately. Moreover, a truly effective monitoring strategy includes automatic intervention in the event of an error, reducing downtime even further.
