Overview The RSA enVision platform enables IT security professionals and compliance officers to bring SharePoint within the scope of their compliance mechanisms. RSA enVision log management collects logs from RSA Data Loss Prevention and correlates SharePoint server activity to the enterprise security context. The RSA enVision platform identifies anomalies and vulnerabilities associated with sensitive SharePoint servers, enabling security professionals to prioritize remediation activities. These solutions work together to create a powerful and comprehensive system for automating SharePoint security controls. RSA reduces the administrative challenges of controlling sensitive information while lowering the information security risks, enabling enterprises to unleash the true potential of SharePoint - with confidence.
