Overview

Product Information on Netwrix Threat Prevention

Updated 14th August 2025

What is Netwrix Threat Prevention?

Netwrix Threat Prevention, part of the Netwrix Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution, helps organizations protect Active Directory from identity-based threats. By capturing events at the source, without relying on native logs, it spots suspicious authentications and unauthorized modifications in real time, and can be configured to automatically block them to stop privilege escalation, policy tampering, and other identity-based attacks. With built-in alerting, centralized event storage and search, and integrations with SIEM tools, it enables faster investigation, supports compliance, and strengthens the resilience of identity infrastructure.

    Excellent product and provides protections that other companies cannot. Monitoring solutions is not enough these days you need to have the ability to stop threats in their tracks. None of the other vendors do more than just monitor and alert.

    StealthINTERCEPT can be a bit complicated to set up and that's why they require professional services to set up, but once it's configured it just gives great visibility into your environment. The tools allow you to configure scheduled reports and alerts for the things that matter to you.

Sometimes issues with upgrading versions or adding security patches. If you want to change something in the domain this tool needs a little tunning. You need to be aware that in some scenarios it is better to hire an external company to implement and help you maintain this tool.
