STEALTHbits Technologies: Insight, Intelligence and Control for Unstructured Data

STEALTHbits Technologies, Inc., supplier of software solutions for managing and securing unstructured, human-generated data and critical applications, announced their product, the StealthAUDIT Management Platform v6.3 provides organizations with the ability to achieve new levels of insight, intelligence, and control of their ever growing volumes of unstructured data through new support for the latest release of EMC Isilon scale-out NAS (Isilon OneFS 7.1).

Together, these solutions enable customers to better manage their unstructured data.

Unstructured human-generated data is exploding at enormous rates within organizations across the globe. According to IDC, Forrester, and Gartner, 80% of enterprise data is unstructured; while Gartner expects an 800% growth in data over the next five years.

The Isilon and StealthAUDIT v6.3 integration provides enterprises an otherwise unachievable level of control over files stored, including deep, yet clear visibility and insight around permissions associated with files and folders. The integration also allows organizations the ability to determine where access can be reduced, including the ability to assess risk associated with critical and sensitive data with intelligence to involve the data owner during remediation initiatives.

STEALTHbits’ solution can be integrated with the Isilon OneFS 7.1 OS in part to provide the auditing and compliance reporting capabilities organizations require to support their regulatory initiatives like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SAS70, and Sarbanes-Oxley. The solution is simple to deploy, manage, and scale, allowing the integrated audit capabilities to provide business value without impacting storage performance or reliability required by global enterprises.

Kyle Kennedy, CTO, STEALTHbits, said: “The dramatic rise we and organizations are seeing in the amount of unstructured, human-generated data in recent years, and the lack of visibility into who is actually ‘using’ the data – empirical insight, and who the data actually belongs to such as a particular person, department, division, etc. – are essential components of storage, data management, and enterprise security and risk management. The integration of StealthAUDIT with EMC Isilon OneFS 7.1 truly provides organizations insight and control over their data like never before by effectively managing, securing, and protecting their Isilon storage environment. STEALTHbits Technologies is excited to offer customers these new features and capabilities within the StealthAUDIT solution.“

StealthAUDIT v6.3 went available February 24th, 2014.
