TITUS has announced the latest release of Classification Suite, providing an integrated suite of classification and information governance tools.

The suite consists of four products which allow users to classify and protect a wide variety of unstructured information - from email in both Exchange and Outlook Web App (OWA), to Microsoft Office documents, to media files, PDFs, zip files, and more.

"Since 2008, the Australian Federal Government has been using TITUS Classification solutions to comply with the Australian Email Protective Marking Standard," said Sunday Oloyede, IT Consultant for the Australian Federal Government. 

"We continue to see a huge benefit from involving our end users in classifying information in order to effectively protect it. TITUS has been and will continue to be an integral part of our overall IT security strategy."

In this release, TITUS has enhanced its integration with data loss prevention (DLP) solutions, helping to reduce the risk of data loss by capturing end users' knowledge about the sensitivity of information, and making that available in the form of visual classification labels and corresponding metadata.

According to a CISO for one of the big five banks in Canada, "Using TITUS Classification in conjunction with McAfee DLP allows us to involve our end users and their knowledge of the information they create in order to optimize data management policies. We are striving to improve our data loss prevention practices while enhancing secure information sharing."

Enhancements have been made to the flagship product, TITUS Message Classification (TMC), which provides classification and policy enforcement to help organisations secure their enterprise email. 

-- Improved control over email attachments to help prevent inadvertent disclosure of intellectual property, personally identifiable information, and other sensitive information. -- Enhanced Active Directory integration to ensure the right people are accessing the right information through email. -- Deployment enhancements to make it easier for organizations to provide different configurations to different users. -- Support for advanced classification schemas in OWA.

"TITUS is a leader in the information classification market worldwide. We have customers in over 60 countries using our products to protect their most sensitive information," said Tim Upton, President and CEO of TITUS.
