Egnyte has announced new governance tools and services aimed at helping mid-market IT organisations improve their data security and compliance competence.
“While there are a number of great security and compliance platforms on the market, most were built for Fortune 500s and big banks. The problem is, today, as more companies adopt hybrid and remote work, and more data becomes subject to regulation, almost every company in the world has a need for robust data security and governance,” said Rajesh Ram, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Egnyte. “Egnyte has long been committed to making it easy for mid-sized enterprises to prevent data breaches and implement compliance-driven data protection, without having to add additional staff to manage these programs. Today’s announcements are about making the platform even simpler and more actionable than ever.”
The new capabilities enable companies to:
· Quantify & Benchmark Diverse Risks: Using a single Governance Risk Dashboard, companies receive an evaluation tool that summarises organisations’ risk into a single number so IT teams can quickly identify the biggest risks to their business while establishing benchmarks for tracking progress and prioritising next steps.
· Prioritise Next Best Actions: The Governance Risk Dashboard not only measures an organisation’s current risk posture, but also tracks progress and improvements. It can be used to engage business leaders in governance efforts by helping them understand where sensitive content resides and what safeguards need to be put in place to reduce risk across the organisation on an on-going basis.
· Automatically Safeguard Sensitive Content: To help enforce policies and reduce risk, Egnyte’s content safeguards prevent data leakage by restricting public links to sensitive files. Content safeguard policies can be automatically created to restrict links to a minimum security level, based on sensitive content matching, risk score, and location, which are then enforced.
As an add on option, Egnyte will also be providing expert-led governance “health checks” as part of its professional services offerings.
