File security through file encryption
Files with sensitive information are stored everywhere these days. Servers, workstations, backup tapes, USB drives, laptops etc, they all contain sensitive and mission critical information. No file is secure by default, and it usually sits on a user’s workstation or USB drive, waiting to be used. What if that media was lost or stolen? The information on that media is then compromised and can severely damage the company. With federal laws and regulations in place, it would be quite expensive too.
File encryption has been around for as long as computers have. Yet, the use of file encryption almost never goes beyond the very large corporations that have many pending patents, a large database of customer & client information, etc. Regardless of the size of your organization, your information is your most valuable asset. If you lose or compromise that information, it could damage your company severely.
Data Leak Prevention through Outbound Content Compliance
Any file security solution is only as secure as it’s weakest link - usually this is human error. Removing the human factor can be paramount to assuring Data Leak Prevention.
With the Secured eControl add-on, the endpoint client application will automatically secure sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, financial information etc
by enforcing encryption, or even stopping the information dead in its tracks.
Secured eControl will scan any files, attachments or emails and if it recognises sensitive information, it will force the user to take appropriate measures
to ensure compliance. This also educates users so that no one does something "just because".
