New technology protects against data breaches

September 2011 Information Security

In today’s fast paced, connected world, mobile workers and executives work virtually anywhere with just their laptop, carrying important organisational information wherever they go. This sensitive information, including customer records, personnel files, intellectual property, and financials could easily be lost or fall into the wrong hands.

Derek Friend, StorVault Africa country manager, says, “Prevention is better than cure and it is important for companies to be prepared ahead of time to prevent data being lost or stolen.”

StorVault’s EVault End Point Protection (EPP) solution is a desktop/laptop backup solution that not only protects against data loss, but also against data breach. The product includes encryption, recovery and data deletion capabilities, and makes provision for every eventuality should your company’s data be lost or stolen.

State of the art encryption protects data files at rest, during backup and recovery. Data is replicated and backed-up to a secure location for complete offsite protection. Policy driven, automatic backups mean that companies no longer need to worry about whether employees are complying with company backup regulations. Built in port access control prevents unauthorised data leakage. In the case that company data has been stolen, it can be deleted remotely to prevent it falling into the wrong hands, and the stolen device traced and these assets recovered.

All this can be controlled by a centralised Web-based policy management system, eliminating dependency on user behaviour and allowing clients to manage and monitor back-up and disaster recovery through a secure and centralised interface. The solution can operate on any combination of Windows and Mac platforms.
