If it was removable media, it would include the make, model, volume name, partition ID, and serial number of the device. If it was via a website, that would include the domain name, URL, and active browser tab title. Incydr will monitor all your company’s file activity (Image credit: Code42)Įven though Incydr is monitoring everything, it is smart to be able to tell the difference between normal team collaboration and events that are a real risk.Īs well as information about the files involved, Incydr also provides vector information, i.e., the destination that files have been moved or copied to. It will monitor the creation, deletion, modification, and movement of all files whether the activity is considered a violation of company security policy or not. The way Incydr works is to bring together information about what data is most important to your business, how, when, and where that data is moving, and who is moving it. You’ll also be able to review the contents of the files. The forensic search will provide you with in-depth information about the event including the user and file involved, the file path on the user’s computer, and other file metadata like size and dates of creation and modification. For instance, you can choose a forensic search for source code which will bring up a list of all code files that have had events in the specified time frame. The links from the dashboard are shortcuts for specific types of searches. From there you can either view events details or conduct a forensic search.Ī forensic search will let you view file activity based on a variety of different criteria including date and time ranges, file category, exposure type (which includes being synced to a cloud service or copied to removable media), and event type (which includes being modified or emailed).

The dashboard will also give you an overview of your organization’s file activity including the type of files that have been moved or shared and where they have been moved to, whether it be iCloud, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, a web browser or other app, or removable media.
