IT management applications provider Quest Software has launched its new One Identity Manager Data Governance Edition to help enterprises of different sizes to control and secure their unstructured data.

The new edition will help IT department in managing unstructured data, while empowering business-driven data governance.

One Identity Manager Data Governance Edition provides access control to the business owners who actually know who should have access to which sensitive data.

It enables automated, scalable, secure, and efficient management of unstructured data by the information owners who should govern this data.

The new data management tool will enable business managers to control who has access to the data, protecting their organisation through analysing, approving and fulfilling access requests.

It also offers dashboards to decision makers to view trends, understand historic and current data access activity and see attestation status on a personalised level, all without the need to involve IT.

Quest Software Identity and Access Management vice president and general manager John Milburn said with the Quest One Identity Manager Data Governance Edition, it moved data governance into an achievable, business-driven exercise.

"Now organizations of all sizes can confidently report that access to unstructured data is requested, approved, fulfilled, and audited within a unified solution that places the control and visibility in the hands of people who are closest to daily business decisions," Milburn said.
