DCAP system notifies about the presence of file copies and reveals areas where they are kept.

SearchInform FileAuditor, the system for file storages audit and protection has been updated. The new release optimized function of document copies search. From now on, when viewing a file, the DCAP solution reveals, whether there are copies of document. The system also enables to obtain document copies with the help of facilitated search tools.

The Duplicates tab was added to FileAuditor console. With the help of the tab a user can view list of file copies and find the full path to the files. The functionality is available for any file and is also available from the context menu – it’s enough to simply click on the file name with the right mouse button and choose the option Find all the duplicates. If information security officers need to check if any storages contain copies of some specific document, they can be obtained via search panel by similar or file hash-sum. It’s possible to narrow search criteria by excluding known file directory: then only unaccounted storage areas will be shown in search results.

New tools in FileAuditor deal with two tasks simultaneously. First, search for file copies helps to detect unaccounted copies of confidential data, which must be kept in specified storages. Secondly, quickly obtained reference about copies helps to estimate, whether the file system is  overloaded and optimize it. 

“The system considers only those files, which has sums are totally equal as copies. That’s why deleting extra copies won’t result into loss of data or interruption of business processes. Both IS and IT department employees have to deal with the problem of unaccounted or simply excessive copies. When working on development of our solutions functionality and interface, we focus on customers’ practical requirements. That’s why we strive to make sure that all tasks can be easily solved with the help of our tools. This works the same way with the search for copies in FileAuditor – easily and efficiently” – explained Sergio Bertoni, the Leading Analyst at SearchInform.
