About Data Insight

Many organizations struggle with identifying data users and owners for their unstructured data. This challenge is compounded with the fact that organizations lack visibility into the types of content and data that is spread across their computing environment.
With
Veritas Data Insight
, users can monitor file access to automatically identify the data user of a file based on the access history. The usage information then automatically enters into the incident detail of files that violate
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
policies. This method enables users to identify sensitive data along with the responsible users to enable more efficient remediation and data management.
Veritas Data Insight
scans unstructured data systems and collects the full access history of users across the data.
Veritas Data Insight
helps organizations monitor and report on access to sensitive information.
Veritas Data Insight
helps organizations solve the problem of identifying data owners and responsible parties for information in spite of incomplete or inaccurate metadata or tracking information. This helps support large-scale business owner-driven remediation processes and workflows.
Veritas Data Insight
can provide the following information:
  • Who owns the data
  • Who is responsible for remediation
  • Who has seen the data
  • Who has access to the data
  • What data is most at risk
  • Frequency of usage of data
The
Veritas Data Insight
information that contains the access history of data users is available to
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
. If the access history on a file is recorded, a data user can be identified in a
Network Discover
incident.
The
Folder Risk Report
ranks folders based on number of files with policy violations, severity weightings, folder exposure, and actual user accesses on sensitive data. This report provides a mechanism to focus on the folder assets with the largest volume of data and highest risk of data exposure. The report helps
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
remediators drive down risk in the fastest possible manner.
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
queries
Veritas Data Insight
for the data user of a file and other access history attributes like the last modifying user. This access history information is available in the
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
incident snapshot as custom attributes.
The data user information from
Veritas Data Insight
can also be assigned to the
Data Owner Name
field, to enable the automatic distribution of aggregated incident reports to data owners for remediation.
