Want control of your data?
…The first step is finding it
Across large distributed file systems, it’s nearly impossible to keep
track of the high-risk or sensitive data that is undoubtedly hiding in
every corner of your network. A critical early step in any Data
Governance program is the scanning of file systems to discover where
high-risk or sensitive content may be buried deep within documents.
Corporate networks are virtual minefields of critical and sensitive data.
Over many years, organizations have collected sensitive, personal, or
private information about employees, customers, business partners,
competitors, and even intellectual property. There is inherent risk in
storing this volatile data and care should be taken to protect it.
Unstructured Data (data that is not centrally managed) continues to
grow at alarming rates – as much as 800% over the next five years
according to some estimates – and it has never been more critical to
take control of this data as security breaches are widely publicized and
regulatory penalties have substantially increased.
INTRODUCING StealthSEEK™
StealthSEEK offers a simple-to-deploy, easy-to-use alternative for
identifying high-risk and sensitive information across your file systems.
A lightweight data discovery solution that is both elegant and
powerful, StealthSEEK was designed to begin producing answers just
minutes after installation.
StealthSEEK identifies sensitive and high-risk data based on both
common industry criteria (such as non-public or personal information,
credit card data and Social Security Numbers) as well as enabling
custom criteria that identifies data which is sensitive only to specific
users or industries (such as intellectual property).
FEATURES
The simplest, most affordable way to
locate sensitive information is also
feature-rich with conveniences that you
won’t be able to live without. Here are
a few of the highlights:
• Auto-Discovery: Finds your file
servers and shares.
• Classification of Shares: Finds and
prioritizes risk.
• Unique Credentials:
Accommodates logon scenarios.
• Targeted Scans: Limits the scope
for better results.
• Custom Criteria: Finds targeted
content.
• File Filters: Limits scan scope by
file size and type.
• Luhn Validation: Reduces false
positives.
• Dual Scan Modes: Optimizes scan
efficiency.
• Data Analysis: Provides pivoting
and grouping.
• Export: Get results in multiple
formats.Data Sheet
DIFFERENTIATORS
TIME: Traditional DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solutions which attempt to
locate sensitive data are both expensive-to-implement and complicated-tomaintain. In some cases, they take weeks to scan an environment in an
effort to answer even simple questions.
StealthSEEK provides answers in minutes. It’s quick to deploy and scans can
be targeted to high-risk file shares based on user input or StealthSEEK’s own
built-in risk analysis.
COST: Traditional DLP solutions cost mid-sized organizations (~5000
employees) between $175,000 and $300,000; a hefty price tag and a big
chunk of an already diminished IT budget.
StealthSEEK is priced to exceed today’s budgetary constraints with a pay-asyou-go model, advanced scan scoping, and the ability to run scans prior to
making any purchase at all.
RESULTS: Traditional DLP solutions are typically managed by centralized IT
organizations and generate an unbearable amount of results making them
unusable for answering targeted questions.
StealthSEEK is built for fine-tuned scoping by target hosts, target shares, by
file type, by search criteria, folder depth, and more. The end result is highly
relevant and actionable information.
NEXT STEPS
StealthSEEK is part of STEALTHbits’ complete solution for Data and Access
Governance. Finding high-risk data is the first step. StealthSEEK will feed its
data into STEALTHbits’ industry leading StealthAUDIT Management
Platform (SMP) for prioritization and remediation of identified risk. The
SMP enables lock-down of permissions, periodic entitlement reviews, and
discovery of high-risk and toxic conditions on sensitive file shares.
CONCLUSION
Successful Data Governance programs require an in-depth understanding
of where sensitive and high-risk data resides across the network.
StealthSEEK identifies risk associated with data exposure and takes the
first-step in gaining control over unstructured data.
