According to a recent Forrester report, data discovery and classification is an often-overlooked yet critical component of data security and control. TITUS, the market leader in data classification and protection of e-mail, documents and other unstructured data, today announced the launch of its data discovery and classification tool, TITUS Illuminate.

Already in use by large enterprise organisations, TITUS Illuminate examines and automatically classifies files discovered on-premises as well as in the cloud.
"The amount of data being created, shared and stored is growing exponentially. With more people accessing and storing files in a multitude of network and cloud repositories, your sensitive data could be anywhere. How do you protect it?" asks Sean Glansbeek, CEO of Private Protocol.
Illuminate features include the ability to:
* Discover data in network file shares, SharePoint, as well as cloud shares such as SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box to determine where sensitive data resides.
* Identify the business value of data so an organisation knows what data it has and how it should be protected.
* Classify any file type based on the content (PCI, PII, PHI or intellectual property), context or file properties (author, location, etc).
* Apply content protection to files where they reside, quarantine files that are stored inappropriately, or flag files for follow-up where risks are identified based on the combination of content and location.
* Analyse data with built-in analytics and reports or through third-party business intelligence tools to help identify risk areas for the organisation.
* Integrate with other security solutions such as DLP and ERM that can access TITUS metadata to enforce appropriate protection policies.
* Work seamlessly with TITUS Classification Suite to enforce rules on files in motion, ensuring the right people have access to the right information at the right time.
