The resulting data is fed into the Netwrix system, which tunes the prediction algorithm and stores the knowledge. Once trained, the system is then able to predict the actions performed by system administrators and send alerts before they happen. The new technology requires no additional hardware investment, since Bluetooth is now included in most endpoint devices, including workstations, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
“We are so excited to be early adopters of this new Netwrix technology,” said Craig Wilson, CIO of Jetson, Krebbs & Thomas, LLP. “I’m not paranoid and I do trust my employees, most of the time, but I like to be in control. Now, I have a way to understand my employees’ thought processes so I can predict actions that can potentially impact security or compliance. The world of IT security will never be the same because of this latest innovation by Netwrix.”
“Netwrix is a visionary leader in change and configuration auditing,” said Michael Fimin, CEO, Netwrix. “This new game-changing technology is the realisation of many years of progressive innovation in both IT and neuroscience. By seeing into the minds of system administrators we can not only accurately predict their unwanted actions but can help to avoid costly changes and mistakes that may put organisations at risk.”
