SharePoint Security Challenge #5: Take Control When Migrating Data
“SharePoint 2010 deployments grew 5x in the past six months.” -Global 360 2011
SharePoint Security Gap:
SharePoint enforces access controls for files using Access Control Lists (ACLs). What makes native permissions challenging, however, is that SharePoint lacks an automated way to ensure that ACLs remain aligned with business needs.
The Play:
Identify where excessive access rights have been granted, and use file activity monitoring to locate stale data that can be archived or deleted.
The Advantage:
- Keep rights aligned with business needs.
- Free up storage space and reduce the amount of data that must be actively managed.
