Sophisticated data analytics key to robust cyber resilience

With 100 percent annual projected growth and a class-leading Net Retention Rate, Censornet prides itself on understanding the threats before they hit, always keeping its clients ahead of the game. But what is the underlying technology that enables classification of multiple data formats and supports a wide range of file types with speedy identification and extraction? All while keeping Censornet’s clients’ sensitive data protected without sacrificing performance?

Richard Walters, CTO for Censornet, explained, “With attacks at record levels and rising, we need to provide advanced data extraction and classification capabilities to help our plat¬form identify sensitive data in transit and block actions in real-time (such as upload, send, at¬tach, transfer) based on DLP policies set cen¬trally. We require support for a wide range of file formats and the ability to handle sensitive data from various countries, such as personal identifiable information (PII), payment card in¬dustry (PCI) data, and personal health informa¬tion (PHI). Having looked at building in-house analytics solutions, we soon realized the need for a more sophisticated, comprehensive, ef¬ficient, and faster approach to best serve the mid-market.”

We found OpenText File Content Extraction [IDOL KeyView] SDK to be the perfect solution to fulfil our requirements. We can focus on core product value while delivering embedded, comprehensive data extraction, classification, AI, and analytics to our clients.

Solution

Censornet enhanced its cybersecurity platform with OpenText™ File Content Extraction and OpenText Knowledge Discovery eduction, enabling lightning-fast data extraction and categorization to combat cyber threats effectively.

Products deployed

  • OpenText™ File Content Extraction

    OpenText File Content Extraction is a powerful data conversion and extraction tool specializing in unlocking information from various file types and formats

  • OpenText™ Knowledge Discovery

    The OpenText Knowledge Discovery eduction engine is a flexible, embeddable software component which finds and extracts sensitive data using high performance natural language processing

Enhancing data protection and ensuring regulatory compliance

A thorough analysis of available solutions revealed OpenText™ File Content Extraction as a game-changing technology. The filter software development kit (SDK) extracts text and metadata from a variety of file formats on many platforms. This capability gives Censornet real-time and strategic data extraction and classification with AI data analytics providing deep insights into the data to effectively boost competitive advantage and deliver enterprise-grade features to their mid-market clients. OpenText™ File Content Extraction identifies file types accurately, including non-existent or ambiguous MIME types, enabling precise downstream routing and processing decisions.

The OpenText Knowledge Discovery eduction engine allows for the identification of sensitive data and other entities of interest, supporting legislative and regulatory compliance and policies. It can also redact sensitive content in text, images, audio, and video. This reduces risk, development costs, and ongoing maintenance, while speeding up time to market. "We found OpenText™ File Content Extraction SDK to be the perfect solution to fulfil our requirements,” said Walters. “We can focus on core product value while delivering embedded, comprehensive data extraction, classification, AI, and analytics to our clients."

Enabling fast data extraction and classification

Walters continued, “We’ve been impressed by the ease of embedding OpenText™ File Content Extraction in our solution. It effectively identifies and extracts sensitive and high-value data such as PII, PCI data, and PHI from structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data using high performance natural language processing. OpenText™ File Content Extraction delivers powerful data extraction capabilities with support for over 1,750 formats across all major client and server-side platforms. And great news for our clients: it does all this with lightning speed, maintaining the performance of our platform.”

Working with OpenText and OpenText File Content Extraction [IDOL KeyView] is a pleasure. Despite not being data experts, we swiftly integrated the OpenText File Content Extraction [IDOL KeyView] SDK into our Censornet platform, providing advanced data extraction, classification, and AI analytics.
