Companies around the world use their legacy applications in their daily business processes. Businesses use anywhere from one large central application to hundreds of smaller ones. Many of these applications were developed years ago, before the majority of privacy regulation laws were put in place. As these laws were instated, there became a need to update legacy applications to meet modern compliance standards. Companies have looked to recode old applications or build new ones. Both of these methods can be prohibitively expensive, costing millions of dollars per application. In addition, altering core applications can be unacceptably disruptive to business processes while the new or recoded applications are in their beta phases.
Businesses need to secure their legacy applications in order to be compliant and protect their data, but few have the money to spend on recoding or new applications. Verdasys’ Digital Guardian (DG) is the solution to this problem. Digital Guardian has the ability to work with any legacy application to monitor, track, log, and mask the information accessed by the user as it flows through that application. It is able to do so without altering, recoding or affecting the back-end application. DG’s approach does not need to recreate mirror databases or applications and runs natively on the application. Using this approach, DG dynamically manages user access to field level information and allows or blocks the user’s ability to view, extract, copy, or move information out of the application based on the content and the user’s authority level. It does all of this without affecting back-end performance. Additionally, DG records all changes made to any selected field, including by whom the changes were made. DG can automatically alert administrators of unauthorized activity and, using its forensics capabilities, allows administrators to analyze everything from risk on an enterprise-wide scale down to the details of risky or non compliant behavior in a single incident.
