Websense Data Discover

About Data Discover:

Comprehensive data discovery and classification Identify where confidential data is located Measure and mitigate risk of data loss Support e-discovery for legal controls

Websense Data Discover is a comprehensive data discovery and classification solution. Many organizations don’t know what data is confidential or where it is stored. Confidential data that is at rest in unsecured locations is at risk of being lost.

Websense Data Discover provides agent-less network and data discovery to efficiently locate all confidential information—on laptops, desktops, fileservers, etc.—and classify it. Websense Data Discover provides situational awareness of data stored throughout the organization to support data security policies, and can be purchased alone or deployed as part of the fully integrated Websense Data Security Suite.

• Accurately identify where confidential data is located
• Measure and mitigate the risk of data loss
• Support e-discovery for legal and governance controls

Websense Data Security Suite discovers data stored throughout the network: in data repositories, file shares, and whether on servers or endpoints. Armed with the knowledge of where data is, organizations can identify broken business processes, create efficient workflows, and establish policies to protect confidential data.

PreciseID, included with Websense Data Security Suite, is a third-generation data fingerprinting technology that goes far beyond simple keyword, pattern matching, and regular expression engines. PreciseID fingerprints both structured and unstructured data regardless of file type or format. Websense Data Security Suite creates multiple fingerprints per file via a one-way mathematical representation, analyzing the content within the document so that it can monitor and protect the data no matter how it has been manipulated. PreciseID provides the industry’s lowest rate of false positives and false negatives by using multiple detection methods for in-depth data analysis, correlating relational data points as well as metadata. This gives organizations decision-ready information they can act on.

Websense Data Security Suite fingerprints data from most databases and analyzes hundreds of megabytes each minute. Its sophisticated algorithms can distinguish if a Social Security number belongs to a customer or an employee, allowing organizations to implement data protection policies that are relevant to specific business processes. Websense Data Security Suite also covers a broad range of unstructured data, including financial data, software source code, business plans, and product designs. It categorizes the content by its type, risk, and/or applicable state/federal regulation. These capabilities enable IT departments to establish enforceable security policies that are in line with business requirements.

There are multiple techniques to classify and identify information, but only PreciseID™ NLP offers the most accurate and granular data loss prevention
