2022: File Storage Protection Solution Exit

On March 17, 2022, the company Garda Techologies (part of IKS Holding) announced the launch of a DAG (Data Access Governance) Garda Files class solution for protection file storages and unstructured ones. data

Garda Files

According to the company, according to Gartner research, 80% of corporate data is unstructured. Unstructured data is all the data stored in network folders, cloud storage, enterprise portals, Microsoft Exchange folders, Microsoft SharePoint, etc. A large array of data contains many different documents - photos and videos in folders for sharing, archives of retired employees, drafts and copies of files, system and test files. At the same time, 60% of corporate data is not useful. Copies, unused files, media content, test and trash files occupy a valuable place in networked storage. Documents containing critical information are not obvious among this diversity.

The volume of such data is growing by 30-40% annually. Without a specialized means of control, it is impossible to put in order the rights of access to data.

Garda Files is a hardware and software complex for controlling employee access to disparate data in networked repositories. The system categorizes and classifies unstructured data, localizes sensitive information in a common array of enterprise data, and manages access rights to information.

AIC Garda Files scans all known types of unstructured data stores and builds profiles of user and system behavior. All this allows you to detect abnormal activity and detect incidents of illegitimate access to corporate data.

DAG (Data Access Governance) is a comprehensive solution for managing access to and control of unstructured data. The solution allows you to identify and classify company-valuable data or information that is protected by regulatory requirements, and allows you to centrally manage and control access to the entire data array.

The Garda Files system has become a logical complement to the Garda group of information security solutions, which already includes the Garda DB data protection system, the Garda Monitor network traffic analysis system and the Garda Enterprise DLP system. Now the Garda solution suite provides a full range of active and passive protection against internal security threats of all types of data, now unstructured. Inclusion in the product portfolio allows you to create a closed data security ecosystem at all stages of the lifecycle:

• Networked storage. A wide variety of data can be found on user computers and in local networked repositories, including drafts of confidential documents, copies of client data. Protection - Garda Files, DAG system.

The system provides continuous monitoring of online repositories and alerts the security officer when sensitive data is identified in the access of a wide range of people or attempts to illegitimately access valuable information.

Garda Files processes more than 1 billion messages and files in seconds and can connect to systems where more than 300,000 users are involved. The complex is passively connected to the protected servers, without loading the infrastructure. The solution optimizes enterprise storage by identifying doubles of information, which allows you to free up significant amounts of memory and save money on expanding storage.

Analytical capabilities with a multi-level reporting system "Garda Files" allow you to clearly track abnormal activity and attempts to illegitimate access to corporate data. And also help organizations comply with regulatory requirements for data storage and processing (FZ-152, FSTEC Orders No. 17b 21b 239, PCI DSS, GDRP, HIPPA, etc.).

Garda Files integrates with security systems and facilitates rapid incident detection and investigation by uploading reports SIEM to and. Telegram Through integration with JSON, the system audits and classifies unstructured data for large regionally distributed organizations, incident monitoring and response centers (). SOC
