Dell Goes Beyond the Data to Add Identity Analysis to Integrated Data Governance Solution

Business Wire
Dell Software today announced the release of Dell Quest One™
Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition Classification Module,
the latest comprehensive solution that adds identity to the
classification of unstructured data. This updated solution is being
delivered in response to customers’ imperatives around protecting
themselves from evolving internal and external threats, and is a
key piece of Dell’s overall Connected Security* solution
portfolio.
While other solutions simply classify data, Dell’s Quest One
Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition Classification Module
discovers and classifies all new and old unstructured data, and
goes beyond the data to show who has access and how it was
obtained, to improve regulatory compliance and business
agility.
As unstructured data continues to grow at record rates, related
risks within the organization also are increasing. The need to
identify and secure this data, likewise, is growing in volume and
complexity. A new enterprise survey conducted by Dell Software
shows that:
- 52 percent of respondents have
experienced at least 25 percent year-over-year growth in
unstructured data across their organizations
- 63 percent stated that less than 25
percent of their organization’s data is currently classified as
confidential and protected with additional security policies
- 45 percent are not confident in the
security of their organization’s classified unstructured data
The survey results show that data in many organizations is
growing, yet remains unprotected, presenting a significant security
risk. To limit an organization’s exposure and risk, all data – both
structured and unstructured – must be protected, and that
protection starts with user access.
Quest One Identity Manager and the Data Governance Edition
solution set provide context around users, showing what they have
access to in terms of entitlements to applications, roles within
the company, and even geographical location. The integrated
Classification Module adds the ability to discover and classify
unstructured data contained in files and add context to that
data.
Quest One Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition
Classification Module also boosts compliance, helping the
organization ensure that only the right person has access to the
data. In the event of a security breach, or following an audit, the
most accurate forensic information can quickly be obtained, showing
exactly what the user had access to, whether any of that data was
classified, who approved the access, and the last time access
entitlement was reviewed.
This new offering is one more step in advancing Dell Software's
strategy to enable IT to drive connected security across the
organization, offering protection both from inside and outside
the company walls.
News Facts:
Quest One Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition
Classification Module integrates the new Classification Module with
identity and data governance to provide the following new
features:
- MRI scan of the data – Finds,
identifies and classifies unstructured data, and produces a
Management Risk Index (MRI) report showing a heat map of the
organization’s infrastructure, pinpointing the location of hot
spots of unstructured data that contain the most risk.
- Data classification risk levels
– Assigns risk levels to data based on classification, providing
clarity and enabling the business owner to see the level of risk
for both the user and the data resource to which they are
requesting access.
- RapidView Summary – Finds,
categorizes and organizes sensitive data such as credit card
numbers and PII, based on content and context of access risk. Shows
what kind of sensitive information is contained in unstructured
data files without the need to manually evaluate them.
- SecureTag for Eyes Only – Allows
sensitive, unstructured data throughout the organization to be
tagged according to compliance regulations, use, sensitivity, etc.
The organization then can establish and enforce rules for how all
existing and newly created sensitive unstructured data is treated,
who may access it, and where it is stored.
- Location-based tracking – Helps
ensure the organization is meeting compliance requirements for any
country in which the data is located. Data can be classified across
the globe. In the event of a breach, the business owner can see
where the data is located, who has access to it, and the
classification level of the data set.

Ash Motiwala, CTO, Identropy
“With the explosion of unstructured data, it’s critical to be
able to analyze all of it to prevent costly, damaging data breaches
from occurring. With Dell’s integrated solution, we can offer our
customers a complete data governance solution that enables them to
see all sides of their unstructured data – what’s in it, where it’s
located, how much risk it carries – and they can see it in the
context of users who access the data. Quest One Identity Manager –
Data Governance Edition Classification Module is a smart, new data
identity solution that gives our customers the ability to look
further into their organizations and help gain more return on their
investment.”
Martin Kuppinger, founder and principal analyst,
KuppingerCole
“Dell Quest One Identity Manager Suite, including the recently
released Data Governance Edition, is a leading product in the
access governance market. It incorporates easy-to-use capabilities
for access request management, strong role management, and other
standard access governance using unique characteristics that
include the ability to roll back collected audit data to earlier
points in time. Dell provides a strong feature set with a high
degree of flexibility, that’s fairly easy to customize, and I
recommend that companies should have a deeper look into this
solution when evaluating Access Governance products.”
John Milburn, executive director, Identity and Access
Management Solutions, Dell Software
“Our solution’s unique capability to add identity to
unstructured data can improve security, compliance and business
agility. Business owners can better manage data assets when they
know what’s in the data itself, and can assign a risk level for
each user, depending on what other permissions the user has. The
Quest One Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition Classification
Module gives business owners insight into both the data, and the
roles and responsibilities of users, so they can make informed
decisions on access requests to help further reduce the
organization’s exposure to risk.”
Pricing and Availability: Quest One Identity Manager –
Data Governance Edition Classification Module will be generally
available on June 10 for $35USD* per enabled user. Though the
Classification Module requires the purchase of Quest One Identity
Manager – Data Governance Edition to function, the module can be
purchased separately by those who already own Quest One Identity
Manager – Data Governance Edition.
