Announcing File Dynamics 6.2
An expanded emphasis on data growth, automation, compliance, security, and protection are all contributing to evolving requirements for data management. To meet the dynamic demands of today’s organizations, Micro Focus offers File Dynamics, an identity- and target-driven policy approach to today’s network data management challenges.
With File Dynamics, you have the means to not only automate the provisioning, day-to-day management, archiving, and disposal of user and group network storage, but to manage all other unstructured data on the network. Additionally, File Dynamics provides the means to secure data through remediation and notification as well as protect data through point-in-time data recovery.
New to File Dynamics 6.2:
· Storage Resources Scoping. The Storage Resources panel in the Admin Client now contains an interface for the configuration of Storage Resource scoping. Providing a scope for Storage Resources can greatly improve the time to discover and rebuild the Storage Resources database.
· Client-based Directory Services and File System Access. All navigation and listing of Active Directory and live file system entries in the Admin Client are now performed directly by the Admin Client, using the logged-on user’s credentials. Prior versions of the client redirected these requests through the Engine, using the user’s authenticated credentials.
Announcing new releases for File Governance Suite: File Reporter 3.6 and File Dynamics 6.2
The Micro Focus File Governance Suite is a full set of file governance tools to help you address data governance challenges in your Microsoft Windows network. Comprising Micro Focus File Reporter and Micro Focus File Dynamics, the File Governance Suite lets you know what files you’re storing, their relevancy, who has access to them, if any contain personal or confidential information that needs to be secured, and much more. Then it lets you establish policies that can manage, secure, and even recover your data.
Micro Focus File Reporter 3.6 inventories network file systems and delivers the detailed file storage intelligence you need to optimize and secure your network for efficiency and compliance. Engineered for enterprise file system reporting, File Reporter gathers data across the millions of files and folders scattered among the various network storage devices that make up your network. Flexible reporting, filtering, querying, and content analysis options then present the exact findings you need so that you can demonstrate compliance or take corrective action.
Micro Focus File Dynamics 6.2 provides extensive services to address the expanding requirements of network data management. Identity-driven policies automate tasks that are traditionally done manually, resulting in cost savings and assurance that tasks are being performed properly. Target-driven policies offer data migration and relocation, cleanup, notification of changes to access permissions, and protection from data corruption and downtime.

So what’s the best way to protect it? Learn how you can safeguard your hard-won reputation against both internal and external threats and protect one of your biggest reputational risks: your data.
Webinar: Discover Key Shifts in the Privacy and Data Protection Environment - There is a lot more data at risk today than there has been in the past. The explosion of personal data being collected, harnessed, and used means that companies have to be increasingly aware of how they manage it. Additionally, there has been an expansion of global requirements such as the GDPR, California's CCPA law, and Brazil's LGPD law.
Webinar: Ensure Privacy Protection through your Digital Transformation – Privacy represents a major challenge for the modern enterprise. The flexibility of hybrid IT and insights of data analytics are essential to the business. But the digital transformation that is key to business success and competitive advantage is also a major vulnerability when it comes to data privacy. Organizations are rightfully concerned about CCPA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and the growing number of regulations now being enacted, which means they need to figure out how to reduce their risk. But current privacy protection approaches fall short. What’s needed is a unified technology framework that lets you take a holistic, analytics-driven approach to securing what matters most—a framework flexible enough to meet the needs of your enterprise, but specific enough to offer a guide to risk reduction. Join us for this informative webinar to discover why Micro Focus is a leader in providing this solution.
Webinar: Close the Gap in Your Ransomware Defense – Ransomware is a global epidemic that is spreading like wildfire. The FBI estimates that ransomware infects more than 100,000 computers a day around the world. Join this webinar to learn about ransomware challenges and impact, why malware detection alone is not enough, and how to close the gap with holistic endpoint data and device management.
Webinar: Anatomy of a Breach – Cyber breaches have almost doubled in the past five years, according to the World Economic Forum, which now lists cyberattacks as third on its list of top global risks. But how can organizations keep pace, keep secure? There needs to be a plan. One of the clearest, most comprehensive, flexible, and highly regarded approaches to cybersecurity is the framework devised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This webinar provides an overview of market trends facing organizations as they venture into a digital transformation and how they can make their digital transformation secure by employing the NIST framework to strengthen every facet of their organization’s defenses against a breach.
