ENTERPRISE INFORMATION PROTECTION

E-mail has become a key tool of business around the world. It is a core component of communication and collaboration within and outside of the network of any company. With an estimated 210 billion e-mails sent per day worldwide, the amount of information communicated and data sent through this medium is nothing short of staggering. Being such a foundation of digital communication, e-mail is also one of the primary means through which data can leave your company. The potential for the transfer of sensitive data beyond the perimeter of a business through e-mail is immense. As such, though a key enabler of many business processes, e-mail also presents a large data security risk.

As is the case with junk-mail filters that block out much ‘spam’ e-mail, but also let in some junk-mail and block out some ‘real’ e-mails, many e-mail security solutions can be cumbersome blanket-solutions that are only partially effective. A proper e-mail security solution must not obstruct, but rather enable valuable communication and business processes while protecting a company’s sensitive security on a case-by-case basis. Verdasys’ Enterprise Information Protection solution, Digital Guardian, is such a solution. Digital Guardian’s flexible content and context aware e-mail protection can protect your company against the risk presented by e-mail through various means including:

• Monitoring when sensitive files or information is sent, who sent it, and where they sent it to.
• Warning, requiring justification for, or blocking e-mails.
• Encrypting attachments with multiple forms of encryption.
• All controls can be implemented or not implemented based dozens of factors including:
  • Which user or user group sent the e-mail
  • Which user, user group, or domain the e-mail is sent to
  • If the e-mail is sent internally or externally
  • If there is sensitive information in the e-mail (Social Security Numbers, PCI, PII, etc.)
  • What attachments are included with the e-mail and if those attachments contain sensitive or proprietary information
  • Which program or webmail the e-mail was sent through (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.)
• Advanced forensic details for internal or external audits, or litigation.

• A single integrated, policy-driven solution that meets all your whole disk, mobile device, email, and file encryption requirements decreases complexity and total cost of ownership.
• Administer email, file, and disk encryption policies centrally to make risk-aware decisions based on contextual and content based classification. Manage data risk by crafting unified, risk appropriate policy controls. Central administration closes gaps in risk coverage and lowers total cost of ownership.
• Encryption of sensitive email, files, and disk is transparent to the users who have a need to know the information within. Empowers users to communicate securely with no interruption or retraining. Removes reliance on voluntary compliance for better risk reduction.
• Automated management of multi-level keys, including randomly generated keys, user defined keys, and recovery keys. Unified key management makes enrollment, ongoing operation, and recovery painless from an end user and administrative perspective.
• Comprehensive reporting for high-level aggregate views of group and user activity. Drill down to granular views. Easy query enables creation of custom reports. Actionable reporting on the state of data risk across the entire organization - across storage and distribution channels. Drill-down view offers visibility into data movement and usage.
