With GDPR implementation just months away, Netwrix Corporation, a visibility platform for user behaviour analysis and risk mitigation, has partnered with Concept Searching.
The Irvine, California-based company said the partnership with Concept to bring even more visibility into IT infrastructures through data discovery and data classification capabilities.
Together they will introduce an advanced security solution that delivers more insight into sensitive data and improves risk mitigation. Their new solution claims to enable security teams to prioritise their investments in information security controls to ensure proper protection of critical data.
The pair said they will also be able to address compliance requirements more efficiently through better risk management and data access governance, which is especially required by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force in May.
“With the deadline for GDPR compliance quickly approaching, organizations that process the sensitive data of EU residents are in a tough position. They have to re-assess their security strategies and implement controls to ensure that only the right people have access to sensitive data, and that those people are using it in the correct manner. Netwrix’s partnership with Concept Searching has tremendous meaning for the European IT community, because we will be offering a solution that addresses critical GPDR requirements, such as having deep insight into processed data and strong data access governance,” said Matt Middleton-Leal, General Manager of the EMEA region at Netwrix.
Netwrix claims to be the first vendor to introduce a visibility and governance platform for hybrid cloud security, with more than 160,000 IT departments worldwide using its solution to detect insider threat, pass compliance audits, and increase productivity of IT security and operations teams.
Headquartered in the US, and with offices in the UK, Canada and South Africa, Concept Searching specialises in semantic metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy management. Its intelligent metadata helps organisations identify and manage all content types, to improve security, compliance, and governance enterprise-wide.
Martin Garland, president of Concept Searching, added: “As business risk continues to escalate, organizations need the ability to identify and protect sensitive and confidential vulnerabilities that typically remain hidden. Failure to do so exposes organisations to costs associated with remediation, resulting from security breaches, noncompliance, and failure to adhere to regulatory mandates.”
