Websense Data Discover

Datasheet

Pinpoint and protect sensitive data with simple and comprehensive data discovery.
The exponential growth of data and its use make locating critical data throughout the enterprise a challenge. The need to comply with regulations and minimize data risk adds to the challenge. Websense Data Discover, powered by Websense DICE (Data Identification and Classification Engine), identifies, monitors, audits and protects your data from misuse and theft. Why is Websense the best choice?
Data Discover helps you maintain unrivaled visibility and control over all your confidential data. It accurately identifies confidential data by using DICE, which has a rich set of three classifiers (described, registered, learned) to provide the most insight into your data. Agent, agent-less and hybrid options perform discovery scans on specified network file shares, databases, email servers, data repositories, desktops and laptops to discover and classify confidential data. Automatically enforce data protection policies with automated remediation actions for sensitive data found on data repositories using predefined scripts.

The Websense difference: DICE (Data Identification and Classification Engine)
Websense DICE combines rich classifiers with real-time contextual awareness of user, data and destination to provide high accuracy and consistent data loss prevention throughout the TRITON architecture. DICE supports three data categories: described, registered and learned. Described data includes regular expressions, dictionaries and natural language classifiers including over 1700 policies and templates. Registered data includes fingerprinting, which can be compressed and stored on the endpoint for off-network protection. Learned data is advanced machine learning technology that employs algorithms to analyze small samples of data to fill the gap between described and registered data for higher accuracy and efficiency. Data theft protection capabilities includes OCR of text within images, detection of custom encrypted files and password file theft, slow data leaks and geo-location awareness. DICE is ubiquitous for discovery, gateways and endpoints with policy management from a single console.
