Content
ControlPoint 7.0 Software Secures SharePoint Content with Proactive Mitigation to Reduce
the Risk of Data Breaches in the Cloud and On-Premises
Washington, D.C, November 03, 2015 /PressReleasePing/ Metalogix, the premier
provider of unified management software to migrate, manage and secure content across
enterprise collaboration platforms in the cloud and on-premises, today announced ControlPoint
7.0. With new, embedded security intelligence, ControlPoint 7.0, delivers real-time situational
awareness into suspicious SharePoint user activity to help prevent costly data breaches and
leakages. Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager with ControlPoint 7.0, provides a powerful
security combination and reinforces Metalogix commitment to deliver a new era of unified
management software to optimize the availability, performance, and security of content across
the collaboration lifecycle.

According to the Experian 2015 Second Annual Data Breach Industry Forecast, almost half of
organizations have suffered at least one security incident in the last 12 months and 73%
acknowledged the likelihood of a breach by developing a data breach response plan. With
nearly 60% of organizations (according to AIIM.org) using SharePoint for content
collaboration, the need to secure SharePoint in the face of data breach risk is clear.

Data breaches are one of the top concerns for CIOs, CSOs and their IT organizations, said
Steven Murphy, CEO, Metalogix. The primary focus today has been on securing and
hardening the perimeter against outside threats, but little has been done to address the risk of
insider threats. SharePoint is a central content collaboration platform for enterprises with
highly sensitive data that is exposed and at risk. Current solutions simply cant provide the
proactive intelligence and insight required to protect this critical content repository. With
ControlPoint 7.0 we are addressing this security gap and changing the game for SharePoint
security by automating and providing the insight and proactive management organizations

need to identify and lock-down sensitive content to minimize the risk of data leakage.

As opposed to conventional, passive SharePoint security solutions which include a mix of


permissions management and compliance-driven reporting functions, ControlPoint 7.0 is the
only offering that delivers intelligent monitoring and content awareness, filling a gap in the
existing SharePoint security model. This new software product provides real-time situational
awareness into suspicious user activity with around the clock monitoring into what users are
doing and accessing in SharePoint. It pinpoints unauthorized access and alerts on suspicious
behavior up to, and including locking users out of SharePoint.

ControlPoint 7.0 features technology that uses real-time machine learning to analyze and
detect suspicious patterns of activity in SharePoint and prevents unauthorized access to
content. This advanced technology monitors SharePoint continually and alerts on suspicious
behavior, tracking behavior anomalies and unauthorized access based on geo-location to
protect against both internal and external threats. By providing insight into the content users
are accessing, including when, where, what time and how often, ControlPoint can help
organizations avoid unauthorized access and usage.

Perficient, Inc. is a leading technology and management consulting firm and Metalogix partner
with deep expertise in enterprise content management and SharePoint infrastructure solutions
for the Global 2000. According to Joe Crabtree, Senior Solutions Architect, MSFT Modern
Apps Consultant for Perficient, SharePoint is a powerful collaboration platform for the
majority of businesses today, and as a result corporations are using it to store more
confidential and sensitive information. The risks are simply too great to leave this content
exposed. Metalogix has significantly raised the bar in SharePoint security with the new
ControlPoint 7.0 release giving organizations the proactive solution they need to stay one step
ahead of the security breaches that put sensitive data at risk.

Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager when used with ControlPoint 7.0 is redefining Data
Loss Prevention (DLP) for securing sensitive content such as PII in SharePoint both in the
cloud and on-premises. Powered by advanced machine learning technologies, Sensitive
Content Manager surpasses existing data protection strategies and provides a far higher
degree of accuracy for context aware identification, filtering and classification of content.
While other DLP solutions employ rules and techniques that amount to little more than Ctrl +
F to find PII, Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager provides a forensic analysis of the true
nature of an organizations content.
