Zafesoft Announces Enterprise Data Discovery and Classification

SAN JOSE, CA, November 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) Zafesoft today announced the availability of Z-Discovery its Enterprise Data Discovery and Classification solution with auto Zafe.

Z-Discovery, along with the Zafesoft subscription solution, discovers and classifies sensitive information in files across the enterprise in over 1,100 files formats on hard drives, networks, and systems. In this way the organization not only becomes aware of where its sensitive information is across its network they can also secure it with the integrated 'zafe' functionality.

Z-Discovery allows information security officers to address the Enterprise Risk that organizations face due to the accidental or intentional loss of sensitive data, such a patient/financial information, reports generated from the patient/financial database. The solution discovers existing sensitive information lying around on computers, servers and networks inside the organization. It then classifies it and appropriately secures it by 'zafing' those files, wherever it found them.

The solution continues to discover and zafe sensitive information as it is generated and placed on the local or network machines. In this way, it secures historical and future information for the enterprise.

The best part is that existing employees and valid third party users see no change in the way they interact with this 'zafed' information. They continue to view, edit, copy, paste etc. Unauthorized users are never able to access this information or even a portion of it, if it was copied and pasted to another file.

Meanwhile all access is logged and archived; making this a low administration solution.

The solution ensures that copies of copies and private 'stashes' possibly maintained by users are persistently secure. Zafesoft also prevents screen capture, and screen scraping technologies from siphoning zafed information. Zafesoft provides information level security, and now along with the discovery/classification technology, it now provides a powerful solution for enterprise level information risk mitigation.

Using the IDOL, KeyView and EDUCTION technologies from Autonomy the Z-Discovery solution is able to create and apply pattern search (such as social security numbers, employee numbers, patient or bank account numbers, addresses, or any other pattern identified by the customer) across 1,100 files formats (the largest of any solution). The solution also classifies this search (which is run with a crawling technology that goes across the network). The Autonomy pattern search technology is relied upon by 900 of the fortune 1,000 companies over the past decade.

"This solution provides meaningful and holistic data security for the organization. It integrates with existing technologies such as databases, LDAP/Active Directory, Single Sign-On, and existing DLP solutions." said Sandeep Tiwari, CEO of Zafesoft.

"We are really pleased that the Z-Discovery option is now available to organizations looking for solutions to address enterprise level information risk," he concluded.
