Gain Visibility into the Ownership, Location & Use of Critical Data
Gaining a clear understanding into the location and nature of critical and sensitive data assets sits at the core of sound data protection practice. Any security strategy is destined to fail unless an organisation has clear visibility of the data it needs to protect and where that information resides – Before You Can Protect Your Data, You Must Find It.
Overview
PixAlert helps organisations take inventory of critical data assets through our Data Discovery process which is a vital first step in establishing a security protection framework. It enables businesses to easily audit -network resources and gain enterprise-wide visibility into ownership, location and usage of unsecured, critical corporate data while quickly identifying key risk factors. Only when an organisation has this level of visibility, can it begin to understand risk and vulnerabilities and execute the necessary corrective action to protect valuable data assets.
