Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-implemented products are provided that collect user file event notifications in real-time and optimizes the collected file event notifications by recognizing file event sets and pruning certain file events from the event sets. The optimized file event notification information is then indexed on an index server. The file's content information (e.g., sensitive information) and the file's metadata are independently collected and indexed and stored on the index server. The information from the optimized file event notifications, the file's content information, and the file's metadata are co-related to each other and presented in a file activity audit report.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for remotely managing user permissions through computing device comprising an index server in communication with a user interface executing on a second computing device and file server(s) comprising data objects wherein the file server is a third computing device different from the first and second computing devices. The index server comprises data structures containing information on user permission access to data objects that are stored on the index server. The index server communicates with the user interface to receive instructions for changes to user permission access levels and accesses its data structures and/or change logs to respond to such communications. The index server also communicates with the file server to execute the changes to the user permission access level for a user associated with a data object at the local level.

Abstract: Provided herein is a system for managing user entitlements to files and folders in a file server. The system is comprised of an entitlement manager UI system comprising an entitlement manager user interface (UI), an index server, and a file server. The entitlement manager UI is comprised of a permission pane that presents user permission access levels corresponding to a user associated with a file or folder, a permission activity log pane that presents audit trails of user permission changes wherein each audit trail comprises options to reverse the permission change, and a file activity pane presenting the activity levels of users having access to a file or folder. The entitlement manager UI further comprises a filter option wherein the user permission access levels for data objects stored in file servers that are in communication with the index server are controlled through the entitlement manager UI.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods, and computer implemented products for persisting queries or filters originating from reports within one dashboard and propagating such queries or filters to reports in other dashboards within an information management user interface environment. Typical information management dashboard user interfaces do not persist or propagate filters originating from one dashboard and apply such filters across multiple related dashboards to generate more granular details of the files and data within the information management environment. By persisting and propagating selected filters across multiple dashboards, the invention presented herein allow for more efficient search, analysis, and execution of certain information management actions based on the queried information.

Abstract: A content analysis system of an information management system can analyze data for one or more data governance tasks. The content analysis system can reduce the overhead on the information management system when identifying sensitive data by analyzing a portion of the data in the file without analyzing the entirety of the file. The content analysis system may reduce overhead by analyzing a portion of files that include structured data. If the portion of the file that includes structured data does not include sensitive data, it is often the case that the entire file excludes sensitive data. Thus, overhead can be reduced by analyzing the portion of the file instead of the entire file. Further, the content analysis system can modify an information management job based on the determination of the inclusion of sensitive data to comply with data protection and privacy rules.
