History

Netwrix was founded by Alex Vovk and Michael Fimin in 2006.

In 2007, Netwrix released its first product, change auditing software for Active Directory.[6] This software was subsequently folded into the company’s Change Reporter Suite, which was later renamed Netwrix Auditor.[6][7]

In 2011, Netwrix released its SCOM Management Pack for Change Reporter Suite, which integrates Netwrix’s auditing solutions with Microsoft System Center.[8]

The company released a new version of Active Directory Change Reporter in November 2012.[9][10]

In June 2013, the company renamed its flagship product, Netwrix Change Reporter, Netwrix Auditor.[11]

On 7 February 2017 Netwrix secured Series A financing from Washington, DC-based Updata Partners. [12]

On 28 November 2018 Netwrix acquired Concept Searching Limited.[13]

In August 2019, Netwrix formed a strategic partnership with Mott MacDonald, a UK-based consultancy, to offer data classification technology to clients.[14]

Products

The company’s flagship product is Netwrix Auditor, formerly known as Change Reporter Suite.[11] Netwrix Auditor delivers a single console for analysis, alerting and reporting on IT infrastructure changes.[15] The product helps organizations track changes and access events across the IT environment, e.g. modifications in security configurations, systems, permissions and data, and provides information as a set of easy-to-read reports.[16] Netwrix Auditor solves security, compliance and operational problems, e.g. mitigating risk of security breaches, reducing compliance costs and increasing the efficiency of IT operations.[1]

In 2014 Netwrix introduced the special edition of Netwrix Auditor for five compliance standards (PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, SOX, GLBA).[17] This edition involved enhanced scalability and reporting capabilities, as well as AuditArchive storage that can hold audit data for upward of 10 years.[17]

On 6 August 2019, Netwrix announced Netwrix Data Classification which uses technology from Concept Searching. The product identifies sensitive information and reduces its exposure by automatically tagging it with metadata.[18]

In March 2020, Netwrix released an updated version of Data Classification 5.5.2 for Google Drive, enhancement of Microsoft Information Protection (MIP), and CCPA Classification Rules Predefined.[19]

Partnerships

Netwrix is a partner of Microsoft,[5] VMware,[20] EMC,[21] NetApp[21] and HP ArcSight.[22]
