Why choose tamper?

Netwrix Auditor does not support cloud object storage utilizing the S3 protocol, whereas tamper was built natively for S3.

tamper detects granular changes across your data and uses AI to qualify modification severity, flagging early indicators of ransomware activity on your storage.

With tamper, protect what matters by detecting what changes.

Key features of tamper

tamper stands apart from alternative solutions through complete S3 protocol compatibility and advanced cloud-native features, including:

Agentless deployment and operation

Zero agents, sidecars, or plugins to install on your storage buckets or cloud virtual machines. tamper deploys in minutes without altering existing infrastructure.

Zero prerequisites

Only standard S3 API credentials are required. Connect your buckets in under 5 minutes with zero architecture modifications or downtime.

AI-powered object change characterization

tamper uses contextual AI to analyze file modifications, evaluate operational impact, and differentiate benign team activity from malicious ransomware encryption.

Automated object tagging

tamper automatically applies custom metadata tags to analyzed objects, allowing downstream SIEM, SOAR, and backup tools to immediately recognize asset criticality and integrity state.

IOC & Ransomware detection

Real-time detection of high-velocity modifications, off-hours batch deletions, and anomalous tampering with historical data, the defining signatures of modern cloud ransomware.

Configuration posture analysis

Continuous configuration audits evaluating Object Lock, Versioning, SSE Encryption, Replication, Lifecycle Policies, and Access Logs into an actionable security score.

Key features of Netwrix Auditor

While Netwrix Auditor does not support S3 cloud storage, it offers the following features for legacy systems:

Data Discovery

Automates discovery and classification of sensitive data across AD/Windows environments and on-premises storage arrays.

Automated Reporting

Generates reports on user activities and overall system security health after each scan.

Metadata Tagging

Applies classification tags to analyzed files to assist in data lifecycle management, migration, and archiving.

S3 Cloud Storage Security & Monitoring

Detect what changes,
Protect what matters

With tamper, benefit from continuous detection and targeted alerts the moment any anomaly occurs across your cloud storage.

Change detection

tamper audits every object-level event across your storage, including creations, overwrites, deletions, moves, and renames. Intuitive dashboards highlight activity trends and trigger instant alerts if mass deletions strike, or if modifications hit files older than 90 days, a hallmark indicator of ransomware encryption.

Configuration analysis

tamper continuously evaluates bucket-level security controls, including Object Lock, Versioning, Server-Side Encryption, Replication, and Access Logging, calculating an objective security score so engineering teams can remediate configuration drift immediately.

Anti-malware analysis

tamper inspects metadata for modified objects across your cloud storage. If files match known indicators of compromise (IOCs) or suspicious patterns, tamper flags them immediately for rapid incident response.

Object tagging

tamper analyzes modified textual objects to evaluate functional impact and integrity. Monitored files are tagged directly in S3 with risk classifications, letting downstream SIEM, SOAR, and backup tools trigger automated defense policies.

tamper already protects cloud assets for leading organizations, why not yours?
