OpenText Webroot Unity - Preservica Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Webroot Unity and Preservica

OpenText Webroot Unity and Preservica complement each other well in organizations that need to protect endpoints while also preserving critical digital records for long-term retention, compliance, and legal defensibility. Webroot Unity helps identify and contain threats on user devices, while Preservica provides secure, managed archiving and digital preservation for important content and evidence.

• Preserve security incident evidence for compliance and legal review

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  When Webroot Unity detects malware, phishing activity, or ransomware on an endpoint, the security team can export incident artifacts such as alert details, device identifiers, remediation actions, and investigation notes into Preservica as a preserved record. This creates a defensible archive of security events for audits, litigation holds, and regulatory inquiries.

• Archive endpoint threat reports for long-term governance reporting

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  Security operations teams can automatically send monthly or quarterly threat reports from Webroot Unity into Preservica for long-term retention. This supports governance, risk, and compliance teams that need historical evidence of endpoint protection posture, incident trends, and remediation performance over time.

• Preserve ransomware response documentation and recovery decisions

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  During a ransomware event, organizations often need to retain the full response trail, including detection timestamps, affected assets, containment actions, and recovery approvals. Integrating Webroot Unity with Preservica allows these records to be archived in a controlled, immutable repository for post-incident review, insurance claims, and board reporting.

• Store security policy and exception approvals as managed records

  Data flow: Bi-directional, primarily OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  When endpoint protection policies are changed or exceptions are granted for business-critical systems, the approval records can be preserved in Preservica alongside the corresponding security configuration history. This helps security, IT operations, and compliance teams demonstrate why exceptions were made and who approved them.

• Retain forensic snapshots from compromised devices

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  If Webroot Unity identifies a high-risk endpoint, the security team can export forensic snapshots such as scan results, file hashes, and remediation logs into Preservica. Preserving these records supports root-cause analysis, repeat-incident tracking, and evidence handling for internal investigations or external authorities.

• Support audit-ready retention of security operations records

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  Organizations subject to industry regulations can archive endpoint security logs, alert histories, and administrative actions from Webroot Unity into Preservica according to retention schedules. This reduces manual evidence collection during audits and ensures security records are retained consistently and defensibly.

• Preserve executive and board-level cybersecurity summaries

  Data flow: OpenText Webroot Unity to Preservica

  Security leaders can push periodic cybersecurity summaries from Webroot Unity into Preservica to maintain a permanent record of risk posture, incident volume, and remediation outcomes. These preserved reports support executive oversight, annual compliance reviews, and historical trend analysis.

In practice, the strongest integration pattern is usually one-way from OpenText Webroot Unity into Preservica, where operational security data is transformed into preserved records. This gives organizations a clear bridge between day-to-day cyber defense and long-term information governance.
