This white paper begins with an overview of the risks associated with the exploding volume of documents, spreadsheets and email that exist within the enterprise. While some of this data is under control of content management systems, most of it is unmanaged on storage volumes throughout the IT infrastructure. This paper exposes the various kinds of threats this data poses to the organization. It goes on to provide a detailed look at how enterprises can mitigate risk using the latest generation of unstructured data management technology. Included in the white paper are topics such as: identifying confidential or regulated data in documents, how to make DLP solutions more effective, how to address the risks created by reports created in spreadsheet format, and how to effectively and automatically discover and classify unstructured data assets across enterprise data centers.
