Publication number: 20230401248Abstract: Example systems and methods for efficient data governance are disclosed. Metadata associated with file objects is analyzed to estimate, for each file object, the likelihood that the file object includes sensitive data. The estimates are used to prioritize the file objects for analysis of the file objects' content to determine the whether the file objects include data deemed to be of a sensitive nature. In cloud-based systems/methods the estimates are also used to prioritize the file objects for transfer from a remote file storage system to the cloud-based system for analysis of content. The disclosed systems and methods significantly reduce the time required to identify sensitive file content in a large number of file objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Shishir Sharma, Amrit Jassal, Sean H. Puttergill, Willy Lanig Picard, Marcin Artur Zablocki

Publication number: 20230367895Abstract: A method for providing access to objects associated with a particular client in a cloud storage system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of establishing a connection with a user, providing a client namespace associated with the client to the user, where the client namespace represents objects stored on the cloud storage system and objects stored on a private storage system apart from the cloud storage system, receiving a request from the user to access an object stored on the private storage system, and providing information to the user to facilitate access to the object stored on the private storage system by said user. Other systems and methods are also disclosed. Important advantages of the present invention are facilitated by separating the logic for user access (control plane) from the actual storage (Storage plane). Private file system access can still be managed from the cloud, while keeping the client data private.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Hakan Ancin, Xi Chen, Amrit Jassal, Daniel H. Jung, Gregory B. Neustaetter, Sean H. Puttergill, Ramakrishnan Sundararaj, Sanjay Vedanthan, Chandra Yalangi, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Ravi Wijayaratne, Shishir Sharma

Publication number: 20230096032Abstract: A cloud-based data governance system includes a processing unit, a network adapter, and memory for storing data and code. The network adapter establishes a connection with a remote data storage system associated with a remote file system over a wide-area network (WAN). The code includes and event collection interface, a data governance service, and an enforcement service. The event collection interface is configured to capture an event from the remote data storage system. The event is indicative of a file system operation executed on a data object of the remote file system. The data governance service is configured to receive the event from the event collection interface and to process the event to determine whether the file system operation conflicts with a governance policy of the data governance system. The enforcement service executes a set of remediation actions, if the file system operation does conflict with the governance policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Amrit Jassal, Shishir Sharma, Sean H.
