"You can't control data that you don't know you have," remarked Linda G. Sharp, Associate General Counsel of ZL Technologies. "Many organizations are suffering from outdated or under-developed file share policies, which can result in keeping more data than is needed or eliminating items that should be kept. Enterprise file shares contain a vast frontier of 'dark data' and assessing this content is the first step to reducing business risk and increasing productivity."
