Version 2.1 FileData Classifier Software Empowers Information Lifecycle Security
BOSTON, Sept. 18 / -- Storage World Conference -- ABREVITY, Inc. announced today general availability of its version 2.1 FileData Classifier(TM) software which includes advanced pattern recognition and metadata extraction technology for Information Lifecycle Security (ILS). ABREVITY is the first to deploy, at actual customer sites, a "complete" ILS solution that solves the problem of discovery, extraction, classification and management for security-related non-public information (NPI).
"Over 102 security breaches were reported in 2005 that affected 56 million people," said ABREVITY vice president Bill Reed. "Studies show that 90% of organizations recently detected security breaches which can cost over $2 million each. It's no wonder that firms of all sizes now list discovery, classification and proper management of security information as a top priority."
Jon Oltsik, a senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), coined the acronym ILS in a recent article wherein he noted that IT professionals are seeking solutions for information security. And while a few storage vendors offer professional services and encryption hardware, they have yet to deliver comprehensive ILS solutions. Jon outlined nine key requirement areas for a "complete" ILS solution including Information Classification, Information Flow, Information Access, Information Usage, Information Risk Management, Policy Engines, Tagging and Metadata Repositories, Secure File Systems and Centralized Management.
"We would not consider deploying a tiered storage solution that does not include ILS," said Michael Masterson, IT architect at a Fortune 500 company, "That's why we'll be using ABREVITY's FileData Classifier software to discover files that might contain confidential or non-public information -- then tag those files and implement policies to migrate them to proper storage tiers."
Customers using ABREVITY's software for ILS initiatives include Cox Communications, BD Biosciences, GEHA, Irwin Financial, Level III Services, Nuvera Fuel Cells and others.
According to ABREVITY, all other Information Classification and Management solutions are built on relational database and/or enterprise search technologies. Leveraging a new metadata database and data model, ABREVITY's SLICEbase technology allows for orders of magnitude better scalability to billions of records, flexibility for on-the-fly schema changes, file version and genealogy tracking with stubbing, distributed "parallel" deployment including multi-threaded scanning and indexing, and most importantly, much lower cost as compared to other solutions.
ABREVITY's version 2.1 FileData Classifier application rides on top of its SLICEbase engine and now includes advanced pattern recognition, "target-based" data mining, heuristic proximity searching and other patent-pending features that allow for fast, accurate and affordable Information Lifecycle Security, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), compliance archiving, data grooming for backup & DR, legal discovery and laboratory instrument file management.
"While other solutions use off-the-shelf search and extraction technologies," said Eric Madison, ABREVITY's director of marketing, "we invented our own. This gives us superior performance, accuracy and scalability, and allows us to deliver solutions requiring custom extraction pattern recognition at a fraction of the cost and time as compared to other vendors."
Starting at below $10,000 for a three-terabyte version, ABREVITY's FileData Classifier software is available today through more than fifty authorized ABREVITY resellers and distributors.
