Actifile is a data security platform designed to help organizations secure their sensitive data. According to the vendor, it offers features such as data risk discovery, risk quantification, monitoring and auditing, remediation by encryption, ransomware protection, digital forensics, insider threats mitigation, data leakage prevention (DLP), and data privacy and compliance.

Data Risk Discovery: According to the vendor, Actifile uses smart patterns based on predefined privacy regulations and PII definitions to scan for sensitive data at rest. It helps organizations identify potential risks associated with sensitive data.

Risk Quantification: The vendor claims that Actifile quantifies data risk per PII type in local currencies, assigning a monetary value to each type of sensitive data. This feature enables organizations to understand the potential financial impact of data breaches and prioritize their data protection efforts.

Monitoring and Auditing: Actifile provides real-time monitoring and auditing of data risk by tracking incoming and outgoing sensitive data flows. According to the vendor, it offers visibility into data security incidents and potential breaches, allowing organizations to take proactive measures to mitigate risks and ensure compliance.

Remediation by Encryption: The vendor states that Actifile automatically secures sensitive data across all endpoints, cloud apps, third-party portals, and shadow IT. It offers a one-click encryption method to protect sensitive files and data, ensuring data confidentiality and preventing unauthorized access.

Ransomware Protection: According to the vendor, Actifile offers proactive protection against ransomware attacks by encrypting sensitive data, making it worthless to attackers. It reduces the attack surface by automatically encrypting sensitive files and data, minimizing the potential impact of ransomware attacks.

Digital Forensics: Actifile automates the monitoring of file downloads, modifications, and third-party use, detecting data usage anomalies in real-time. The vendor claims that it provides full audit capabilities and alerts administrators to prevent further escalation, saving time and resources on post-breach incident response.

Insider Threats: According to the vendor, Actifile helps organizations mitigate risks associated with internal threats by pinpointing sensitive assets and proactively encrypting them. It aims to reduce the risk of data breaches caused by employee negligence or malicious intent, enhancing data security.

Data Leakage Prevention (DLP): The vendor claims that Actifile's non-intrusive solution applies a top-down policy to eliminate Shadow IT risks and compliance issues. It automatically encrypts sensitive files and data, preventing data leakage without extensive content inspection and minimizing potential productivity impact.

Data Privacy and Compliance: According to the vendor, Actifile helps organizations calculate the risks involved with fines and brand damages related to privacy regulations. It offers tight controls to safeguard sensitive data, ensuring compliance with privacy laws and industry-specific security guidelines.
