In today’s organizations, unstructured data not contained with a particular business application exists everywhere and is only continuing to grow. Documents, spreadsheets, and other randomly created files often contain critical data that needs to be protected – such as payment card, government identification, and other personally identifiable information that, if compromised, represent a major threat to your organization’s security. In this session, you’ll learn how Data Access Security can help you discover this data, keep it secure, and set up notifications for real-time access threats. These include protection from ransomware, data exfiltration, and denial of service attacks.

Tune in as we address these questions:

- How can I discover sensitive, critical, and regulated data that is shared or stored across my enterprise?

- How can I find out where credit card information is stored in my enterprise and protect it with rules that can monitor and help govern its activities?

- How can I go deeper than entitlements to see what directory and file level access exists on my organization’s data?

- How can I see who has access to change critical files, such as those where employee salary or bonus data is stored?

- How can I help protect my organization by receiving near real-time notifications to stop potential ransomware, data exfiltration, and denial of service attacks?

- How can I receive alerts when files containing critical data are accessed, changed, or deleted?
