Last week, Netwrix hosted Netwrix Connect LIVE 2025, our interactive virtual customer event designed to provide insight into our platform evolution, preview upcoming innovations, and receive guidance to improve security across your organization. Led by CEO Grady Summers (@grady), GM Adam Laub (@AdamLaub), and our Data Scientist expert Brett Bodenburg (@brettbodenburg), the event unveiled groundbreaking updates to our portfolio, including the revolutionary MCP Server Integration and repackaged security solutions that simplify compliance, threat detection, and data protection.
Company Vision: Data Security that Starts with Identity
At Netwrix, we’re doubling down on identity-centric security as the cornerstone of modern data protection. With cyber adversaries increasingly targeting user credentials and access pathways, securing identities isn’t just a priority - it’s a necessity. Our vision is to unify identity management across your ecosystem, ensuring that every access request, permission change, or authentication event is tightly controlled and monitored. By focusing on identity, we empower organizations to proactively mitigate risks like credential theft, insider threats, and lateral movement attacks, creating a robust security posture that adapts to evolving threats.
Innovation: MCP Server Integration & AI-Powered Simplicity
The star of the show was our Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Integration, a game-changer for AI-driven security operations. Here’s how it works:
- Bring Your Own AI: Connect tools like Copilot or Claude AI directly to Netwrix products (e.g., Access Analyzer, Auditor) via MCP. Ask natural-language questions like “Who has access to financial records?” or “What sensitive data is stored on the marketing share?” and get instant, plain-language summaries.
- Automate Investigations: MCP enables AI to pull data from across your environment, correlate threats (e.g., suspicious commands in live PAM sessions), and even trigger actions like locking user sessions—all through conversational workflows.
- Phased Rollout:
- Available Now: MCP integration with Access Analyzer and Auditor (live session monitoring, command analysis).
- Coming Soon: Expect support for Privilege Secure and Threat Manager, enabling cross-solution threat correlation.
This isn’t just automation - it’s autonomous security operations with human oversight, designed to outpace adversaries. This feature is free for all customers.
