I have decided to release to the public a simple tool that is very long overdue in this market. The tool is NTFS Security Guard. Let me give you some background of the problem for the reason why this tool was created. As a computer service consultant, you will definitely find that certain folders require restricted NTFS security permissions. The problem is if you didn’t set these permissions, or even if you did, you have no idea if the permissions ever change. Is that folder still secure? Do you even know which folders are secured?

This tool is to be installed on the server where you then tell it the required information, such as SMTP server info as well as which folders to monitor. Then if the NTFS permissions are changed on any folder or file, you are immediately sent an email so that you can go check on this folder or file to see what happened. Most importantly, you can correct the changes if they are no longer correct.

Here is a screenshot of a version I am tweaking to be available to the public.
