Highlight Exposure Of Sensitive Data

Data-Centric Security:

A New Frontier in Information Protection

In today's hyper-connected digital landscape, traditional user-centric security measures are no longer enough. Enter data-centric security: a paradigm shift that focuses on protecting the data itself, regardless of where it resides or who accesses it. This approach is particularly crucial in the face of ever-evolving compliance requirements and the complexities of large enterprise networks. Imagine being able to instantly answer questions like "What sensitive data can Scott access?" or "Who has visibility into this confidential directory?" – challenges that have long plagued IT security teams.

FileCensus revolutionizes this space with its comprehensive global data profiling capabilities. By providing a bird's-eye view of your entire data ecosystem, it empowers you to proactively manage security risks before they escalate into incidents. The system regularly generates trustee lists, allowing you to fine-tune security configurations with precision. It acts as a vigilant guardian, detecting sensitive files that have been illicitly replicated across your organization and flagging suspicious file changes, especially those occurring outside business hours. FileCensus goes beyond simple monitoring; it's your early warning system for potential script vulnerabilities, identifying executables with unusual access rights that might slip past traditional security measures.

But the power of FileCensus doesn't stop there. It's a Swiss Army knife for your information security toolkit, offering deep insights into user behavior patterns and access trends. This granular visibility extends to your mobile workforce, with scanning options for laptops and desktops – an invaluable feature in an era of remote work and BYOD policies. What's particularly fascinating is how many of our clients discover these security capabilities as an unexpected bonus. They often come to FileCensus seeking storage optimization or compliance solutions, only to find themselves with a robust, multi-faceted security ally that continuously evolves to meet new threats and regulatory demands. In essence, FileCensus doesn't just protect your data; it transforms your entire approach to information security, turning potential vulnerabilities into strategic advantages.

Replicated Files

FileCensus features a report that identify files that have been stored elsewhere in your organisation. For example, important tender documents that have been copied to another server. You can include workstations and laptop in your scanning to detect files replicated to local drives.

Rights Analysis

FileCensus reports on the user rights for some operating systems providing an easy mechanism for the identification of breaches in security policy. Because FileCensus is capable of keeping a history these reports can be also be used as an audit trail or restore mechanism.
