Information Security
Secure your network. The security component is specifically for administrators. Implementing security into a large environment is quite complex. Users have individual logins, but individual users also below to groups. Groups have common areas they work in, but members of other groups do not have access to that group's information. Administrators managing networks with 50,000 users and 20,000 different groups need help controlling all the information generated by those users. The networks they oversee contain millions of directories with billions of files.
Security infomation is quite volatile. Users create new data and change existing data on a daily basis. Just having information in external repositories leads to questions that need to be answered, such as what occurred in the system a week or a month ago.
The key to the security process comes back to having an understanding of how the network works. FileCensus creates reports that allow administrators to clean and tighten up security and to take away "rights" in certain areas. There are no other tools out there that can provide a cetnralized view of security meta data.
FileCensus collects this information as part of its day-to-day operations and brings it back to one central location. The information has already been collected with the meta data, and with that, can then answer questions about the data kept within an organization's network. It is building along the theme of the FileCensus solution in that it provides security information from a day, week, or month in time, and does so in a timely manner, as the information is gleaned from information that has already been gathered.
