About Arctera Data Insight

Understanding Arctera Data Insight

Many organizations struggle with identifying data users and owners for their unstructured data. This challenge is compounded with the fact that organizations lack visibility into the types of content and data that is spread across their computing environment.

With Arctera Data Insight, users can monitor file access to automatically identify the data user of a file based on the access history. This method enables more efficient remediation and data management.

Data Insight scans the unstructured data systems and collects full access history of users across the data. It helps organizations monitor and report on access to sensitive information.

Data Insight provides the following information:

  • Who is responsible for remediation

  • Who has access to the data

  • What data is most at-risk

  • Frequency of usage of data

  • Access details on folders and files

  • Data custodians to remediate risks

  • Identify obsolete and stale data

  • Identify obsolete and stale data

The ownership and the usage information from Data Insight can be used for the following purposes:

  • Data custodian identification

    Data Insight enables the assignment of one or more users as custodians of a data repository. Custodian tagging is typically used to determine the person responsible for remediation. The assigned custodian need not have made any accesses on the files and folders. Assigning custodian is a recommended action. When you create any workflow, it will be sent to the assigned custodian for approval. A task will be created for the assigned custodian and only after custodian's approval, the workflow will be executed. If you assign a custodian at the Data Source level, it will be inherited by all files and folders listed under that data source. If you do not want specific folder to inherit custodian, you can assign a different custodian by following the same procedure. When you assign a custodian

  • Content classification

    Data Insight lets you classify content by providing means to define classification rules (policies) that let you specify values (tags) that you can assign to any matching items. The classification feature works in conjunction with the policy framework provided by Arctera Insight Classification to assign tags to files. For example, a content scan may search for items whose contents include a credit card number and assign a tag of "PII" (for "personally identifiable information") to any that do.

  • Data Ageing

    Data becomes stale if it is not updated frequently. This can happen when you do not have regular processes to classify your data. The lack of timely updates may lead to storing of outdated information, resulting in ineffective business strategies.Data Insight flags obsolete and stale data, helping you in identifying and cleaning outdated data.
