World's Leading Manufacturer of VICTREX(R) PEEK Polymer Chooses Kazeon to Continuously Scan Tens of TBs of Data for Proactive Information Security and eDiscovery
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - August 4, 2008) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider
of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, today announced that Victrex PLC, an
innovative leading manufacturer of high performance materials, has chosen
Kazeon's Information Server product to provide information security, risk
assessment and eDiscovery capabilities.
As one of the top companies in the high performance materials market,
Victrex strives to develop new applications through product and technology
innovation. Victrex takes proactive measures to secure information and
prevent intellectual property from leaving the organization. The Kazeon
Information Server platform scans tens of TBs of data held in Victrex's
global network of regional data centers and on more than 500 desktops and
laptops.
Through Kazeon, Victrex can quickly identify business critical and
sensitive data and take corrective measures to secure that data by
analyzing for trends and moving, locking, deleting or quarantining data for
further review. The Kazeon Information Server discovers sensitive
information contained in emails and files regardless of their physical or
logical location. It also indexes & classifies email and file metadata
while providing a comprehensive set of rules that extract common,
confidential patterns. In addition, key words and phrases contained in a
document (e.g. "company confidential," "financial statement") can be
accurately identified and assigned a risk ranking while enabling policies
to prevent data loss.
"Victrex's market is getting more competitive everyday and our intellectual
property and business intelligence have to be protected. Kazeon allows us
to search and identify which documents require the highest levels of
security and then act on them anywhere across our enterprise," said John
Cafferty, Global ICT Manager at Victrex. "The security and risk assessment,
coupled with the ability to build out a comprehensive eDiscovery process,
has made Kazeon an extremely valuable tool. We also leverage the
de-duplication capabilities of the product to identify and remove
unnecessary copies located across multiple locations while ensuring the
integrity of master copies of key documents. This gives us the added
benefit of reduced storage requirements and associated costs."
"Victrex is one of the most respected high performance material companies
in the world and Kazeon is honored to be chosen by them," said Sudhakar
Muddu, President and CEO at Kazeon. "Electronic data has to be controlled,
and to do that companies need the ability to search, index, identify,
classify and then take security actions on that data. Kazeon provides this
unique functionality in a single product at a faster performance and at a
much smaller cost than any other vendor, and customers such as Victrex are
proving the advantages of Kazeon daily in some of the largest networks
worldwide."
Beyond information security features, Victrex is planning to expand their
use of Kazeon to include proactive and reactive eDiscovery. Kazeon provides
the industry's first product to integrate the Electronic Discovery
Reference Model (EDRM) stages of identification, collection, preservation,
processing and analysis into a single enterprise solution for companies
seeking to create a defensible and repeatable eDiscovery process that is
complete, accurate and reliable.
The Kazeon Information Access & Management Platform is based on a
high-performance, massively scalable architecture, designed to address an
organization's most demanding environments. This architecture has enabled
Kazeon to provide the capability to process more than a billion documents
within individual customer deployments, as well as provide high performing,
scaled-out solutions for time-sensitive projects at customer sites.
