As sensitive data continues to be created and move at a record pace across large global organizations, security managers are challenged to find, classify and track this sensitive data. When you add the low cost of portable data storage, it is no wonder that large amounts of sensitive information are proliferating across local drives, remote devices and file servers completely unmanaged. Security departments are struggling to meet corporate mandates requiring them to find and catalog this information to protect company brand and competitive advantage as well as to meet compliance requirements with regulations including; SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, PCI and more.
