Media Encryption
The dramatic proliferation of laptops means your mobile workforce exposes a huge amount of company data outside the secure perimeter of the office each day. Your confidential plans, privileged customer information, and other sensitive data are easily accessed through lost or stolen computers. Add to this potentially serious data leakage through connection ports and removable media such as USB flash drives, iPods, or Bluetooth devices, not only are your chances of data loss.
increasing, you probably have no way to detect or track these devices on your network - even if you have fully educated users about your formal security policy.
There is also increased media coverage of data breaches that can damage your corporate reputation and strong privacy regulations, around the world, that open the door for fines, lawsuits, and criminal penalties. You need a simple, enforceable solution that will completely protect your company’s data wherever it goes.
As a partner with one of the world’s largest data security software companies, CheckPoint, Cerulean DataProtect provides a complete solution to data security.
Cerulean DataProtect provides for:
• Disk Encryption
• Media Encryption
• Mobile Devices Encryption
Disk Encryption
Based on market-leading Pointsec® technologies, disk encryption is proven in business and government agencies, of all sizes, around the world, providing the highest level of data security through strong encryption for both PCs and laptops.
Disk Encryption provides the highest level of security by combining pre-boot authentication with full-disk encryption and the ability to support all common smartcards and tokens. The Disk Encryption application’s pre-boot launch protects the OS from all known attack methods. Only authorised users with the correct logon and password can gain access to the computer. If the machine is turned off or goes into standby mode, the entire hard drive remains encrypted protecting all the contents. These claims are further validated by the most and highest level of certifications in the industry, including FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria EAL 4, and BITS.
Disk Encryption runs in a completely automatic, transparent mode to the user. Administrators do not have to change procedures or tie up their IT staff with hours of training. Users just see a new login screen at boot up, and that’s it. No elaborate training, user interaction, or user failure points. Utilising the WIL feature can even eliminate the login screen if this better suits the organisation’s needs.
Media Encryption
Media Encryption addresses the internal threat from unauthorised copying of enterprise data to all personal storage devices and removable media through a powerful combination of port management, content filtering, centralised auditing and management of storage devices, and optional media encryption. Media Encryption plugs these potential leak points and provides a comprehensive audit-reporting capability of how data files move to and from these devices, giving enterprises complete control of their security policies. Media Encryption is centrally managed so the solution can be deployed easily across all endpoints, and policy settings can be updated as business needs change. This fine level of granularity over policy settings keeps enterprises in control, allowing them to optimise security while minimizing the effect on user work patterns and IT operational costs.
Media Encryption enables flexible, comprehensive management of USB and all plug-and-play devices and removable media. By operating 100 percent transparently with Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory and Novell eDirectory, roaming user security policies are associated with existing users and groups to enable role-based access throughout the organisation. Leading the market in device security, Media Encryption controls which employees are allowed to share data internally, while providing authorised users with transparent access to encrypted media. Read/write access to encrypted media is maintained when offline or travelling, without requiring third-party software. In addition, up-to-date content and virus scans are enforced to ensure network integrity when returning to the online environment.
Mobile Devices Encryption
Research shows that the vast majority of lost or stolen mobile devices contain company communications and confidential business information. And applications like push email only make it more difficult to keep track of the amount of sensitive information stored on these devices. Analysts estimate that there will be 280 million mobile mailboxes by the end of 2008. The sum of these facts represents significant exposure to your business today.
