Verdasys,
provider of Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) solutions for Global
2000 and mid-sized companies, has announced worldwide delivery of the
Verdasys Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP), the first
cloud-based managed service for protecting sensitive data, while
enabling secure collaboration in today's mobile business environments.
Targeted at organizations with 1,000 or more employees, MSIP is
deployed, configured and administered by Verdasys data security experts
through the MSIP Secure
Cloud, eliminating the need for substantial investments in
infrastructure and specialized staff in order to put into action the
type of data security and intellectual
property protection previously accessible only by the world's
largest companies. With successful service deployments in North America
and Europe -- and with showcase customers ranging from an aerospace
contractor to a financial services company and an auto industry supplier
-- increasing deployments of MSIP among mid-sized businesses indicates a
growing need for affordable secure data sharing across a wide variety of
industries. Such enterprises, many of them in the mid-market with
limited IT resources, have previously been restricted to implementing
simplistic, less effective data loss prevention technology or purchasing
a managed service that offers only a partial solution for data
protection, such as managed firewall, intrusion detection, email
filtering and virtual private network.
The new cloud based information protection service is built on Verdasys’
industry leading Digital
Guardian platform, leveraging more than a decade of expertise in an
all-inclusive data protection and risk
management solution, now available as an annual subscription.
Verdasys is unique in offering the broadest set of data protection
capabilities, including IP and trade secret protection, insider threat
management, advanced data risk analysis and policy enforcement, PII/PCI
& PHI compliance, advanced cyber defense and management of export
control restrictions. The only platform to support Linux, Mac OS Citrix
and Windows, Digital Guardian is the global data protection standard for
100,000-seat plus deployments.
According to Scott Glass, Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace
& Industrial Equipment, for CDI Corporation in Tempe, AZ, "We needed to
quickly and successfully deploy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to meet
critical data sharing requirements for a major aerospace equipment
provider. The Verdasys cloud-based MSIP provided a dedicated team of
experts to build and manage our entire data protection program from risk
analysis through our own custom rule creation and control to successful
rollout. We also eliminated months of DLP implementation time and with a
managed service we lowered our costs by avoiding investments in our own
hardware, software and headcount."
Analysts continue to predict strong growth in the market for managed
security services, especially for those aimed at mid-sized businesses
where increased compliance requirements and budget constraints are
driving the need for more cost effective delivery models, such as
cloud-based services. Yet, few cloud services for data security are
offered and none that combine IP protection with cyber threat defense
and compliance in a single solution. According to Christopher Morales,
Senior Analyst, Security at the 451 Group, "Verdasys has identified the
real opportunity in cloud security services -- the fully managed
software-as-a-service that can protect an organization's IP, guard
against cyber attack and meet compliance requirements without the very
heavy lifting and high cost traditionally required."
Securing Modern Use Cases via the Cloud
Implementation of Verdasys MSIP begins with a risk assessment, available
as a separate service and upgradable to a complete policy management and
enforcement solution as part of the Verdasys MSIP. Secure Verdasys
Digital Guardian agents are deployed across the enterprise to
continuously upload encrypted risk intelligence to Verdasys’ secure
hosting facilities, where it is analyzed and fed into a live reporting
dashboard. Verdasys experts work with customers to create and deploy
solution-specific rules enforced by the agents to control how sensitive
data is accessed, stored and used based on unique security and
compliance requirements.
"With our managed service approach, customers are seeing
up-to-the-minute data risk intelligence, with detail on exactly how data
is being used down to the application, file or device type. We can show
granular data events such as who moved what files to DropBox or even
which users printed what to where and how often," said Verdasys Director
of Operations for Managed Services Michael Parrella. "It's the job of
the Verdasys MSIP team to show these risks to our customers, work with
them to define appropriate data protection policies and then we build
and deploy these policies as controls that mitigate the risk of data
loss. Controls can include educational prompts, automated encryption or
applications and file usage blocking, and this can all be done without
purchasing hardware or adding staff."
No sensitive content is transmitted or stored as part of the Verdasys
MSIP service. Event details are captured as metadata that can recreate
any event with forensic accuracy. Metadata is encrypted, hashed, and
digitally signed before being securely transferred to Verdasys’ hosting
facilities via Digital Guardian’s FIPS 140-2 certified messaging
protocol.
Customers that will benefit from the Verdasys MSIP include:
-
Any organization with sensitive customer, corporate or government
information, particularly data "in use and in motion" via email, USBs,
the Web via DropBox, etc.
-
Enterprises that need the same risk and compliance management as the
world's most secure organizations
-
Companies and agencies where mobile and highly privileged users are
essential to business processes and collaboration, particularly those
in a secure supply chain or outsourcing environments
