Digital Confidence, the leading provider of data leakage prevention (DLP), hidden data / metadata removal, and privacy software solutions, today released Hidden Data Detector, a free tool to find and identify hidden data & metadata in files.
Hidden Data Detector can analyze Microsoft Office 2007 documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), OpenOffice.org / StarOffice documents, JPEG, PNG, and SVG image files, AVI video files, and WAV audio files. Hidden Data Detector alerts the user if document properties, tracked changes, comments, presentation notes, or other types of hidden data & metadata are present in the scanned files.
With Hidden Data Detector users can assess the risk of sharing files that contain potentially confidential and private hidden data, and evaluate their need for a comprehensive hidden data removal solution.
