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.

Netwrix Threat Prevention Likes & Dislikes

Like

Easy to use, easy to customize, plenty of new features that you can easily implement and use day by day.

Like

Protection services Stable Inexpensive

Like

I like that is highly customizable. I have been able to create alerts and reports from scratch. There's a learning curve but the power of the tool is there, and when I have questions they have technical support available to assist.

Dislike

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.

Dislike

Policies can be a little hard to configure at times

Dislike

It feels a bit disconnected at times with their other Stealthbits products it interacts. Also updates seem to be needed fairly often and they don't recommend doing those without support.

    Oct 25, 2022
    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.

    Solid product to increase visibility into Active Directory

    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.

    We have been using SI for several years and it is extremely useful to find out who did what in AD. It is used a lot for audit and compliance to show changes with accounts, etc.

    The solution helps me to have all the control over the audit logs. Now, I don't depend on the administrators any more to enable or even increase the audit level
