Axceler and MetricStream have both entered partnerships with Jornata and Qualys, while EntropySoft has released a new connector with ZyLab for better e-Discovery.
E-Discovery in 2012
It’s not easy to work out yet what 2012 is going to bring in the GRC space, and even less clear whether companies are paying any attention to it. However, Nuix, a vendor of information management technology, has published a list of things that it thinks will happen in the space over the coming months.
In this report, it focuses on e-Discovery — not surprising, then, that it's called eDiscovery: Where are we going in 2012? — and maps how organizations can begin to manage the staggering volumes of new information generated by global organizations each day.
The general conclusion is that the vast amounts of information around the web will reach a tipping point, forcing organizations to take a more proactive approach to data management, and those companies with advanced e-Discovery tools already in place are best positioned to do this.
Included in it are 6 Big Data trends that the company has identified:
- Enterprises will start to minimize information storage to cut back on the huge expense of actually keeping it.
- Information technologies will be used to identify and streamline redundant data that will then be deleted.
- Information management and e-Discovery will converge, enabling organization to categorize or search information more easily.
- There will be an increase in the demand for experts in building information governance and Big Data management strategies.
- Data management will be simplified so that risk managers will be able to identify risk factors and resolve issues around them before they happen.
- There will be a shift toward the simplification of data management and it will be expected that software should enable risk managers to be notified of and search for key risk incidents.
Basically, it implies a move away from the “keep everything” approach that has been a characteristic of information governance until now.
ZyLab, EntropySoft Connectors for e-Discovery
It’s been a slow start to the GRC year, but there have been a couple of notable announcements. One of them is the new OEM agreement between EntropySoft and ZyLab.
With the growing costs of e-Discovery, and the increasingly punitive fines and legal consequences of failure to comply with requests, this OEM seems like one of the more logical ones in the information management industry.
Both companies have considerable reputations in their respective fields — ZyLab as an enterprise e-Discovery application provider, EntropySoft as the connector king — so by putting the two together, the possibilities for information recovery — or discovery — are increased considerably.
MetricStream, Qualys Partner for Security
Meanwhile, GRC vendor MetricStream and SaaS security vendor Qualys have announced the integration of MetricStream IT-GRC Solution with QualysGuard Vulnerability Management (VM).
The joint solution provides one framework to monitor and capture asset and network vulnerabilities, and route them through a process of investigation and remediation.
This integration enables customers to identify and report on the vulnerabilities affecting business-critical assets, map security issues to business applications, and aggregate and rollup risk information across their enterprise for proactive mitigation.
