The exponential growth of sensitive files represents the biggest challenge that information security professionals face. By 2025 it is expected that unstructured data will account for up to 80% of the global data volume that will reach 163 zetabytes, ten times more than in 2016.* In order to attain insights from this growing data set without exposing the organization to unnecessary risk, organizations must discover and classify files containing sensitive data.
SmartCipher and the Micro Focus portfolio protect sensitive data with granular privacy controls for users, applications, and data to reduce privacy breach risk," said Tony de la Lama, Vice President, Security, Risk & Governance Solutions at Micro Focus. "The introduction of Voltage SmartCipher to the market means customers and organizations can now rely on a single, truly transparent solution that comprehensively manages and secures information, detects and responds to data breaches, and enforces identity and access controls."
Voltage SmartCipher benefits and features include:
Secure collaboration across environments – Voltage SmartCipher's patented Transparent File Encryption technology embeds access and protection policy around individual files and the data contained within to prevent unauthorized access to content or policy.
Increase visibility and control with centralized policy management – Enables increased visibility and control over sensitive files with centralized access and use policy managed centrally and enforced locally at a file level. New policies can be dynamically implemented and synchronized with files on endpoints or collaboration platforms.
Improve and accelerate compliance audits with real-time monitoring, discovery, and classification – Featuring built-in file usage monitoring and alerting that allows enterprises to determine when, where, and how individual files are accessed and altered, and by whom, to provide broad control and protection over unstructured data.
Seamless, non-disruptive implementation – Voltage SmartCipher may be implemented in stages, according to the needs of enterprises, allowing administrators to map file location and roll-out file protection without disruption.
Voltage SmartCipher extends data protection capabilities to the industry – leading Voltage portfolio by adding unstructured data protection and
management, enhancing Micro Focus' portfolio of lifecycle security solutions for data privacy.
