Orchestria updates data leak prevention suite

Orchestria, whose product by the same name is used for regulatory controls and data-leak prevention, Tuesday announced an updated version that adds monitoring and data management capabilities.

Orchestria 6 has software agents that can run on desktops and servers, plus a network appliance to monitor and block transfers of content in e-mail and files. The latest version extends data monitoring to detect unauthorized content related to a USB port or printer, and can also scan Microsoft SharePoint and Exchange folders for corporate data that shouldn't be there.

"It could delete [unauthorized content] automatically when it found it," says Andy Grygiel, Orchestria's senior vice president of marketing. He notes Orchestria 6 also adds a way to tag data so it can be assigned to records and deposited in an archive. The latest version of the management console can function like a dashboard, providing a high-level view of incidents over a period of time.

Orchestria, which says it has 250 enterprise customers, competes against vendors such as Symantec, Reconnex, Websense and Vericept. (Compare data leak prevention products.)   

Orchestria 6 is priced at $200,000 but can cost as much as $400,000.
