The past year and a half has posed unprecedented challenges to society, at every level. For companies adjusting to a more distributed workforce, with newly remote workers and no central place of business to anchor their teams, the corresponding flood of unmanaged content and shadow IT has been a serious test of their organizational fortitude. For these companies, business-critical content can go unchecked, dispersed between the cloud and corporate hard drives—a scenario known as content sprawl.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology provides visibility across an organization's information security systems by collecting and correlating events from logs across many different sources. Security analysts use tools like a SIEM to go “threat hunting”. By correlating disparate events across systems, they can often detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC’s) that may otherwise go unnoticed on individual systems.

The need to employ data governance over sprawling repositories is essential in any industry, but it is especially important for the life sciences. The amount and types of data produced are not easily reviewed and organized. The value and sensitivity of the data makes it a lucrative target for cyber attacks. Egnyte’s data governance features give you more control over your data integrity, data privacy, and data security policies across a multitude of public cloud repositories.

Modern drug discovery and clinical trials produce a volume of data that can quickly overwhelm local storage and bandwidth capacity. Sequencing data, scanned source files, biostatistical (SAS, R, SPSS) databases, and DICOM imaging are all hard to store and collaborate on, especially with a distributed workforce. Egnyte’s platform has been facilitating secure sharing of files for over a decade, accelerating the ability to collaborate without sacrificing security.
