Hello, can someone suggest a Microsoft or 3rd Party tool I can implement to monitor files being modified?<br />
<br />
The end goal is to be able to monitor files in case ransomware/malware strikes. If notifications are involved, great. If not, I'd like to be able to reference the tool/software to see which account is doing it, so that it can be addressed accordingly. We can currently see the owner of the file, but if as these threats evolve, I need more safeguards on the network.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
