iManage Releases Security Policy Manager and Threat Manager

iManage has introduced iManage Security Policy Manager and iManage Threat Manager, two products that deliver powerful security enhancements to iManage’s applications for document and email management. The company says the products give financial professionals the confidence and peace of mind that their critical work product is protected by solutions designed for today’s security threats.

Security Policy Manager enables professional services firms to easily manage their global security policies including need-to-know access to sensitive content and internal segregation of other material to minimize the impact of a security breach.

In addition to securing iManage content, Security Policy Manager is able to secure content across a wide range of non-iManage repositories, including network file shares, time and billing systems, and more.

Tight integration between iManage Security Policy Manager and iManage Work means that security changes can be applied automatically without the system stress and performance lag that competitive products cause on creation of a new policy, as no re-filing or re-indexing of content is necessary. iManage is the only company that can offer this single vendor approach and associated performance benefits.

“Security Policy Manager is the best ethical wall and security policy product for iManage customers,” said Ian Raine, senior director of product management at iManage. “All the functionality you’d expect in an ethical wall offering is there — but with greater ease of use, better performance and scalability, and a single modern user experience across devices. Administrators can manage security policies from anywhere—and end users can view their security obligations from anywhere.”

iManage Threat Manager gives you the confidence that your sensitive data is protected by identifying malicious attacks, or internal threats with the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency. It has been built from the ground up to meet the needs of CIOs, CISOs and compliance officers looking for advanced solutions to protect sensitive data. Threat Manager is tightly integrated with iManage Work and addresses the challenge posed by modern day attacks including phishing where the attacker has already compromised the network perimeter.

iManage Threat Manager leverages historical and contextual information in iManage Work to provide a new level of sophisticated protection and threat detection, not available with standard SIEM, threshold or behavioral analysis tools. iManage Threat Manager results in more accurate and faster identification of both external and internal threats, and the ability to avoid pitfalls such as “false positives” that plague many other approaches by applying adaptive behavioral modeling and machine learning. Moreover, iManage Threat Manager easily integrates with the broader information security stack including SIEM tools. And it can easily push alerts and supporting information into a SIEM solution to create an integrated attack timeline.

“iManage Threat Manager can be the key component of a firm’s information security program,” said Aaron Rangel, director of product management at iManage. “During client audits, firms can now demonstrate that they have proper controls to protect sensitive information.” Available on the iManage cloud or on-premises, iManage Threat Manager delivers a comprehensive set of capabilities including threat detection, monitoring, forensic investigation, alerts and reporting to protect sensitive information in iManage Work 24/7 across any device, anywhere.

Both Security Policy Manager and Threat Manager will become generally available in the first half of 2017.
