TEMASOFT thought tracking file movement and complex operations is essential for a good data security strategy as it brings insight into how insiders manipulate information, detects when data is moved to hazardous locations or when insiders alter the information in ways that circumvent the data leakage prevention tools in place. This point of view has been supported by the survey results: 75 % of the respondents confirmed that tracking file movement inside the network is important for a data security strategy.
TEMASOFT FileMonitor delivers visibility into how data moves around the network, from secure location to less secure ones or endpoints belonging to unauthorized users. Such insights are critical to extending the reach of SIEM solutions to the file auditing zone, to helping DLP solutions gain awareness on what happens on the inside, and how it may affect the perimeter, and also bring much more intelligence to behavior analysis solutions, by leveraging new file access behavior parameters. Our technology can be used to reduce the risk of data leakage, deliver file access auditing for compliance and ensure network-wide system integrity in real-time. Also, the intelligence we deliver is essential for both data breach prevention and investigation, allowing easy understanding of the relevant context, thus helping reducing the cost of data breaches.
