Symantec’s recent announcement of its Data Insight product is a signal that the company sees an important opportunity to move up the value chain by delivering a richer set of business benefits to its customers. It’s also another indication that the industry as a whole is starting to better understand the importance of Information Optimization (IO).
According to Symantec, Data Insight “enables organizations to improve data governance through insights into the ownership and usage of unstructured data.” So, in part, their new product will be useful for their traditional risk mitigation business. If you have better insight into your data assets, you can make smarter decision about what to protect—and respond more intelligently to breaches of your information security policies.
