STEALTHbits Introduces Advanced Workflow Addressing Open Access to Unstructured Data

GLEN ROCK, NJ--(Marketwire - Apr 3, 2012) - STEALTHbits Technologies, the provider of the industry's most comprehensive IT management and compliance platform, today announced the availability of its Open Access Workflow, a new solution designed to reduce risk and improve security around unstructured data by fixing the problem of open access across the file system.

Delivered as part of the STEALTHbits Data & Access Governance Solution Set, which is built on the award-winning StealthAUDIT® Management Platform (SMP), STEALTHbits' Open Access Workflow solution automates the process of locking down open access to file system resources through discovery, intelligence and automated remediation. Originally developed to support large organizations with complex IT environments, the solution logic is configurable to meet any organization's unique requirements enabling them to identify, analyze and remediate risk on unstructured data.

"IT professionals consistently identify open access to unstructured data as a critical challenge, but the size and complexity of the problem often seems too overwhelming to address," said Matt Flynn, director of Access Governance Solutions at STEALTHbits Technologies. "No two organizations are structured the same and there is significant disparity in security models, access controls and audit requirements. As a result of working with many of the largest financial institutions in the world, we've developed a proven and pragmatic approach that any organization can take and apply to their own environment to answer critical questions about where sensitive data exists, who owns it, and where the highest risk lays, whether it's across 100 servers or 10,000."

STEALTHbits' Open Access Workflow offers a methodology for reducing risk by providing a proven process that identifies and closes open file shares across any network computing environment. By iterating through tasks and scoping data scans based on intelligence, STEALTHbits' unique workflow process enables organizations to eliminate one of their top audit challenges without significant infrastructure investments or time commitments.
