Today’s release of Symantec Data Insight adds data governance for Hitachi NAS Platform environments and enhances records management by offering a unique blend of information classification automation and data owner decision making.
We are pleased to announce the general availability of Symantec Data Insight 4.5.1 which now enables:
- Data governance for Hitachi NAS 12.x.
- Records Classification Workflow: enables records owners to review classified documents related to a retention policy and automatically archive that information into Enterprise Vault.
- Additional filtering options for permission reporting and enhanced custom reporting ability for directory services.
- Alert policy options which provide a new policy and enhanced configuration options for access monitoring.
Symantec Data Insight integrates with Hitachi NAS Platform (HNAS) to discover and collect activity and permissions information. It provides a web-based interface to monitor and report on users’ access to data. Tim Durant, Hitachi’s Senior Director of Global ISV Alliances and Data Protection, is excited about this new opportunity with Symantec. “Our customers face challenges in establishing what data exists, who owns the data, and how the data is being used. Now they can benefit from performance at scale with both the Hitachi platform they store data on and the Symantec application they use to gain visibility into it.”
Mr. Durant shares a customer perspective that Symantec has aligned its technology offerings to address. With 69% of corporate data having no legal, business or regulatory value, effective data management and protection requires large-scale automation and accountability for taking retention and disposition actions on the growing amount of information. This is why performance, scale and automation were built into the latest workflow in Data Insight.
“One of the challenges to traditional records management is the lack of a balanced approach between leveraging classification technology and user decision to automate the retention process,” says Ketan Shah, Director of Product Management at Symantec. “With the new records classification workflow the integration between Symantec DLP, Data Insight and Enterprise Vault enables that automatic and seamless discovery and retention of a record once it has been confirmed by the data owner.”
As Symantec DLP discovers potential records throughout an organization, owners are engaged via the recently released Data Insight self-service portal to make records determinations. DLP policies are then matched to Enterprise Vault retention policies and records are automatically archived under the appropriate retention period.
