  • Policy-driven manipulation and transformation of data, such as, delete, move, copy, label, and rights protection
  • Supports incremental changes in real time
  • Ability to perform classification based on selective parts of documents – header, footer, body or metadata
  • High speed content scanning engine to process large volumes of documents in terabytes across file repositories
  • Supports prioritization, scheduling and enablement & disablement of rules
  • Scalable architecture to adapt to ever growing data needs quickly
  • Mechanism to add plugins to extend capabilities – custom actions, support for additional data management operations, and content repositories
  • Generate reports to help better understand various types and classes of documents and how they are distributed and stored

“The foundation to a robust data centric security strategy is a sustainable approach to identify and persistently classify data at large scale,”said Keng Lim, CEO, NextLabs. “Companies struggle to stay ahead of data protection and data lifecycle management due to the significant increase in document volume and data sources spread out across the enterprise, while facing the need to stay on top of the ever evolving data protection requirements. Smart Classifier enables organizations to automate the process as well as ensure that the right data gets the right level of protection.”
