DataKeep: Manage who, what, when, where and how data is accessed

DataKeep is the next generation of truly secure data-centric protection for organizations looking to protect their digital assets. By implementing DataKeep, organizations can easily manage who, what, when, where and how data is accessed and mitigate risk associated with unauthorized access to data. DataKeep securely protects data at the source no matter where data resides, encrypting data at the volume or file level for attached storage or before sending to object storage.

Situation

Security teams can define and log access policies by job role and manage privileged and superuser access to block insider and external threats. Native backup and restore commands can be leveraged to enable prompt recovery of archived data in the event of a ransomware attack. DataKeep’s ability to support M of N distributed shares allows companies to encrypt, split and distribute data across multiple object-store locations or vendors for business continuity and operational efficiency. Organizations can utilize the backup and restore capabilities with object storage for secure cloud backup and archiving to improve resiliency.

Prepare and Protect with DataKeep

Maintaining control of critical data is the best way to minimize exposure in the event of a breach, and a data-centric management strategy must be employed as part of your layered security model for an additional level of protection against increasing threat profiles. DataKeep secures critical data at its core to deliver unrivaled protection, control, and resiliency. Customer-defined access policies, strong encryption, and event logging combine with native secure backup/restore capabilities to address your data privacy, compliance and recovery needs.
