 "Symantec Announces Enterprise Vault 10 Archiving Software")
Symantec Corp. hsa announced the availability of Enterprise Vault 10, the new version of its email and content archiving software that now features Symantec’s data loss prevention technology to analyse Microsoft Exchange email content and metadata to help determine the archiving and retention strategy for all messages. Email content and metadata are automatically classified and assigned the appropriate archiving and retention policy, and can even be flagged to be reviewed for compliance reasons. Another new feature of Enterprise Vault 10 is the ability to archive all social media interactions for compliance and eDiscovery purposes.
“Businesses have learned how important it is to protect and preserve email, IM, documents, spreadsheets and other unstructured information, and they’re learning that the same is true for social media records,” said Brian Dye, vice president of product management, Symantec. “We’ve increased the scale and performance of Enterprise Vault so our customers can effectively archive and eDiscovery the millions of records employees are creating by email, social media, SharePoint and file systems. Enterprise Vault 10 can significantly reduce risks, especially for organisations in highly litigious or regulated industries, without inhibiting the business and productivity benefits of social media and collaboration tools.”
The Data Classification Service feature of Enterprise Vault 10 utilises Symantec’s data loss prevention technology to automatically classify the email and assign an appropriate archiving and retention policy. Classifications can also be used as filters to speed up the search and review process for eDiscovery. Additionally, customers who have implemented Symantec Data Loss Prevention can share classification policies to greatly simplify the automated classification of information.
Enterprise Vault also adds new integration with Symantec’s encryption technologies to allow organisations to effectively classify, store, and discover encrypted information.
Through Symantec’s partnerships with Actiance, CommonDesk, Globanet, Hanzo and Socialware, Enterprise Vault 10 automatically archives social media interactions for compliance, eDiscovery and corporate governance purposes. Organisations can comply with requirements for social media communications without restricting or banning the use of those tools.
