Symantec has introduced Symantec Data Insight 3.0, the latest version of its application that improves information governance by providing intelligence into ownership and usage of unstructured data.
Data Insight monitors data usage and enables rule-based inferences for data ownership and the enhancements to it will help organisations transform storage operations and simplify information governance processes to reduce costs, reduce risk and achieve compliance.
Symantec Data Insight helps automate the discovery and management of custodians for unstructured data within the business and automates custodian reviews of inactive or orphan data facilitating storage remediation actions as well as assisting with data retention guidelines based on data ownership classification.
Integrating Data Insight with the Aveksa Access Governance suite will enable organisations to establish business processes to control who can access key data resources across the enterprise, achieve compliance and enforce access policies.
Data Insight 3.0 now features a new integration point with Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0.
Symantec Product Management, Storage and Availability Management Group vice-president Don Angspatt said it is difficult for most organisations to identify the data owners for a majority of the unstructured data in their organisation.
