IQProtector File Protection
OVERVIEW
IQProtector uniquely embeds protection within the data itself at the moment of creation - instantly identifying, classifying, and persistently tagging all new, modified, or accessed sensitive data from any origin.
Challenge and Solution
| THE CHALLENGE | THE SOLUTION |
|
Analysts estimate that up to 80% of organizational data is unstructured. Sensitive organizational data in spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and other files resides in multiple locations – file servers, storage arrays, NAS, and SAN. In today’s de-perimiterized environment, collaboration is crucial - but sharing data necessitates exposing it. Traditional data protection solutions inhibit productivity by applying protection unnecessarily, and items classified as “sensitive” easily lose this classification if not saved in a predefined format or network location, or if modified out of original context. |
IQPROTECTOR PERSISTENT FILE PROTECTION Unlike traditional solutions that attempt to control users, channels or storage, IQProtector protects data - uniquely embedding protection within the data itself at the moment of creation or initial organizational access. IQProtector agents on enterprise hosts instantly identify and classify all new, modified, or accessed sensitive data from any origin. This data, identified with zero false-positives, is persistently tagged, enabling absolute control over access and usage. |
Features and Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
| Automatic classification at content creation | 100% content identification accuracy, simple deployment, no repository scanning required |
| Automatic protection based on central policy | Enterprise has complete control over what, why, when and how to protect data, completely transparent to the enduser |
| Content marking – classification-driven addition of visual labels to documents | Increase security awareness by visualizing document classification, raise both compliance and user accountability |
| Scanner Mode Server | Classification and encryption of pre-existing content on file servers, NAS, SAN, and ECM repositories |
| Optional user classification – enabling the user to decide the type of classification required for a given document or mail | Increased user accountability, added classification accuracy |
| Extends AD-RMS file format support (multi format) | Protection for additional file formats, without application integration |
| Protection of client- or application-based content | Applies RMS protection on files and data exported from applications without integration |
| Metadata labeling for DLP, FCI, eDiscovery, archiving | Lowers the burden on DLP by accurately identifying, classifying and tagging sensitive enterprise data early in the data lifecycle to allow effective DLP enforcement |
| Protect documents upon access | Apply AD-RMS protection on pre-existing content |
| Extendable to other encryption schemes | Conversion of AD-RMS protected data to other protection schemes |
| Audit and report on every action on files everywhere | Monitoring and audit mechanisms operate throughout the information lifecycle |
