DataSecurity Plus
Audits files, classifies sensitive data and restricts risky transfers.
For teams overseeing sensitive files across servers, workstations and supported cloud services.
Audit sensitive files and restrict risky transfers
Sensitive files can be spread across file servers, workstations and cloud services. Teams need to understand what data they hold, how it is accessed and changed, and whether file permissions or transfer activity introduce exposure.
DataSecurity Plus combines file activity auditing with sensitive-data discovery, classification and file analysis. It also monitors unusual file activity and transfers, provides alerts and automated response actions, and restricts selected transfer methods such as USB, file copying and email attachments.
Where DataSecurity Plus is used
DataSecurity Plus is suited to reviewing file access and permission changes, locating and classifying sensitive content, and analysing redundant data, disk usage and file permissions. Its leak prevention functions support controls over USB use, selected file-copy actions and restricted email attachments, while application allow listing limits execution to trusted and vetted software.
Suitable environments
DataSecurity Plus applies to Windows and CIFS file servers, NetApp and Nutanix NAS devices, workstations, and supported cloud services including SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box. File Server Auditing, File Analysis, Data Risk Assessment and Data Leak Prevention are separately licensed. Cloud Protection is a free add-on for Data Leak Prevention users.
