IBM Security Guardium® Activity Monitor for Files

Continuously monitor unstructured data access and protect sensitive data across the enterprise
Value Proposition

Problem

Every day, organizations must manage a deluge of unstructured content documents, spreadsheets, web pages, presentations, chat logs, multimedia and more—all with sensitive data that needs to be secured. In fact, nearly 80 percent of the information created and used by the typical enterprise is unstructured data. As attacks on enterprise data increase in frequency, the costs of a data breach are also on the rise. Monitoring the “who, what, where, when and how” of data access is more important than ever, so organizations can meet compliance obligations and reduce the risk of a major data breach.

Solution

IBM® Security® Guardium® Activity Monitor for Files prevents unauthorized data access, alerts on changes or leaks to help ensure data integrity, automates compliance controls and protects against internal and external threats. Continuous monitoring and real time security policies protect unstructured data across the enterprise without changes to file systems or applications or performance impact. It provides insight into your document and file contents, and usage patterns. IBM Security Guardium Activity Monitor for Files lets you discover, track, and control access to sensitive files on either local or networked file systems.
