Dynamic Classification automatically classifies sensitive data with unmatched precision by applying rules based on content, attributes and metadata at the moment a file is created or modified. Users can also assign multiple classifications according to customized business processes. These persistent classifications remain with the file even if it is renamed or moved to a new location, helping to protect the data throughout its lifecycle. Dynamic classification is suited for a wide range of industries, but is especially effective for healthcare organizations dealing with medical records in search of accurate and efficient classification methods to maintain uninterrupted compliance. Dynamic classification benefits include:

• Seamless data rules enforcement
• Automatic data protection
• Reduced costs and resources devoted to classification
• Greater compliance capabilities

Sensitive Data Manager 8.0 also includes the introduction of Sensitive Data Watcher, which monitors the file system and automatically detects, classifies and reports on sensitive data in real-time as files are created, modified or moved. Alerting, assignment and remediation can also be performed according to customized workflow processes. Sensitive Data Watcher offers users even greater insight and control over their sensitive data, empowering them to proactively remediate issues related to vulnerable data before a problem comes to fruition.

"Sensitive data management has never been more critical, as evidenced by the hordes of stolen and exposed documents containing personal information in countless high-profile data breaches over the past year. Sensitive Data Manager 8.0 makes the task of controlling and protecting that data easy, effective and efficient," said Todd Feinman, CEO of Identity Finder. "When armed with all the critical information and capabilities available in Sensitive Data Manger 8.0, an organization can drastically shrink its sensitive data footprint and minimize the financial, legal and reputational risk associated with data breaches. We are very excited to see the impact this offering will have in combating the epidemic of breached sensitive data."

Other key features of Sensitive Data Manager 8.0 include:

• Custom file type overlays: Displays PII, PCI, PHI, Intellectual Property, Top Secret, Confidential, or other custom overlays on existing files viewable in Windows Explorer, helping users to proactively identify and protect sensitive data.

• Distributed search capability: Searches large enterprise data stores by automatically distributing the workload across discovery agents, making data discovery even faster.

• Native support for SharePoint servers: Searches both hosted and on-premise SharePoint

Server implementations by simply entering the site address and administrative credentials, with support for Office 365 included.
