Solution introduction
Factors such as modern working practices, digital transformation and migration to the cloud have resulted in over 80% of enterprise data being considered ‘unstructured’, including information within emails, folders and files
To date, organisations have struggled to classify, control and track this data as it is stored and shared across users and boundaries, often leading to breaches caused by human error at a time of increased pressure from regulatory requirements
To solve the problem, the Egress platform thinks differently, putting the user in the centre of a suite of privacy and risk management tools driven by intelligent, self-learning software.
A data privacy and risk management platform
Egress helps users manage risk by enabling them to identify sensitive data wherever it resides on networks, cloud storage and within emails. It automates data classification to help users and systems understand who should be accessing that data, and it stops breaches by intervening before users accidentally share with the wrong recipient. The platform also provides enhanced discovery and reporting functionality for ongoing compliance.
Egress also enhances data security and privacy when unstructured data is shared, encrypting it in transit and at rest. Whether data is emailed or worked on collaboratively, the user and their organisation remain in control of how recipients access and interact with sensitive information, supported by automation and intelligence. User engagement and machine learning also drives usage and efficiency, offering bespoke advice and ensuring security, such as message-level encryption, is applied effectively, every time.
