Egnyte Ultimate

Egnyte Ultimate is designed for organisations that need the highest level of data protection, compliance readiness, and proactive threat response. It builds on Elite's collaboration and AI features, but adds the full governance and security toolkit — including behavioural ransomware detection, sensitive data classification, extended snapshot recovery, DLP integration, and customer-managed encryption keys. Ultimate suits businesses in regulated industries or those handling sensitive data at scale, where "good enough" security and compliance creates unacceptable risk.

• Sensitive data discovery and classification Automatically finds and tags sensitive content across your file estate — less manual auditing, clearer picture of where risk actually sits.
• Behavioural ransomware detection Goes beyond known signatures by using machine learning to spot suspicious patterns and actions — catches novel attacks that artifact-based detection would miss.
• Advanced snapshot and recovery (90 days) Longer recovery window with point-in-time restore — more breathing room to identify when an incident started and roll back precisely, rather than scrambling with a 30-day limit.
• Customer-managed encryption keys You hold the keys, not Egnyte — stronger data sovereignty, and a requirement for many compliance frameworks and regulated clients.
• DLP / preventive control integration Sensitive content triggers persistent labels that pass through to your existing DLP systems for enforcement — joins up Egnyte's classification with your wider security stack rather than working in isolation.
• Document type classification Automatically recognises common document types (invoices, contracts, CVs, etc.) using NLP — less manual tagging, faster retrieval, and better policy targeting.
• Trainable classifiers Train the AI on your own document samples to recognise and tag domain-specific content — extends classification beyond out-of-the-box patterns to match how your business actually works.
• OCR (Optical Character Recognition) search Makes scanned documents and image-based PDFs fully searchable and classifiable — no more "dark data" hiding in legacy files that compliance tools can't see.
