Information history management is the tracking of where information is being generated and how that information is distributing (for example, file creation, file copying, e-mail attachment, and paper copying) and the management of the history of that information.
With the information history management technology developed by Hitachi Ltd., it is possible to manage all kinds of information—regardless of whether it is paper or digital—without omission. This technology promises to have the effect on users of psychologically deterring information leakage. Moreover, if by any chance information leakage occurs, the source of the leak can be determined quickly.
