Modern business success is based on the capacity to organize, collect and make use of huge quantities of data. It’s difficult to manage healthcare data and use it to improve the quality of care for patients. The amount of data generated by healthcare facilities is massive yet the vast majority of it goes unnoticed because of inefficiency and lack of tools to manage it efficiently.
Data control is the process of safeguarding and managing information throughout its lifecycle. This includes procedures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of data, as well as security for sensitive information. Effective data control also permits audit trails and monitoring of data usage to provide accountability and help find weaknesses.
Data Control provides a centralized overview of the file system on your network. It scans for files that contain Personal Identifiable Information and displays them on a map along with their indexed locations on computers in your network. Indexed files can be discovered and classified live, from data at-rest (files located in the file system) to virtual data rooms data that is in use and data exfiltration.
Data Control provides a variety of access control models that are based on the type of information you want to manage. ABAC, for example, gives access based on attributes and environmental conditions like location and time. This is more flexible than access control based on role (RBAC) which assigns access privileges based on users and objects.
