While the Windows file activity events seem comprehensive, there are things that cannot be determined using only the event log. A few examples are:.
If you are going to use the native Windows file auditing, you need to be aware of how much data you are going to collect. Collecting Windows file activity is a massive event flow and the Microsoft event structure, generating many events for a single file action, does not help.
Such a collection will require more network bandwidth to transfer events and more storage to keep them. Furthermore, the sophisticated logic required may need a powerful processing unit and a lot of memory.
Varonis records file activity with minimal server and network overhead — enabling better data protection, threat detection, and forensics.
An alternative approach for implementing this important security and compliance measure is to use a lightweight agent on each monitored Windows system with a focus on file servers. Varonis processes Windows file activity and translates those events into audit data that you can actually use and understand, and can handle many millions of events per hour on the largest file servers. Keep in mind that each one of those events in the native Windows auditing would be at least four entries, and all mixed in with all of the other logon and ticket authorization events in the Security Event Log.
With Varonis, you can easily filter your search in Event Viewer by user, file server, or folder path. Each moment you waste trying to discover which accounts triggered the ransomware, more files might get encrypted. Varonis does that file event correlation for you so you can quickly filter and view the files and folders affected by the ransomware.
You can export a report of the ransomware incident so you can begin the cleanup and recovery process immediately. Varonis can even trigger an immediate response to a suspected ransomware attack to disable the attack in progress. Turn on suggestions.

Deploy the auditing in a test environment as long as all applications have been inventoried and there is no reasonable possibility of users running unknown applications in production. Deploy auditing in the production environment if not all applications can be inventoried. Deploy the incoming and outgoing auditing policies to all servers and computers. Deploy the domain auditing on DC's only; it will have no effect on member computers.
Come up with an audit event collection strategy. This may include third parties, Event Subscriptions , or other methods. The key is to make sure that the events are not lost. Make sure the NTLM audit event logs are increased to a large enough size that they do not constantly wrap. It is easier to monitor NTLM auditing on servers than clients - clients can be used for detailed analysis after server behaviors start becoming apparent.
Applications with a legacy code base can have NTLM-only portions i. Example walkthrough: 1. Testers and users are evaluating various applications in the environment. Note the important information here - the time, user, domain, transitive logon, and originating workstation are all listed.
Also note that a DC event is not guaranteed - for example a local user account could be connected to a file server and that would require NTLM. After changing auditing settings, you must restart the computer for the change to take effect. Event ID will always precede and will have a process name that includes Consent. These events will not appear if a user cancels the UAC consent dialog box. Events with Event ID will appear if the user cancels a consent dialog box; however, that same event will appear under different circumstances as well.
After enabling Audit Process Tracking, you can monitor Event ID to determine when administrators make use of Admin Approval Mode to provide full administrator privileges to processes. Failure audits generate an audit entry when a logon attempt fails.
To set this value to No auditing , in the Properties dialog box for this policy setting, select the Define these policy settings check box and clear the Success and Failure check boxes.
