Ultimate protection of data in enterprise network
While most data protection measures are designed to counter danger from
outside a company, they usually ignore in-house risks. However, the potential
for damage caused by the misuse of confidential company data exists too.
In almost every organization, valuable information such as HR documentation,
customer data, and research results is saved electronically without being
protected. The current practice of saving data centrally on servers, multi-site
workplace networking, and using mobile data media means that security risks are
becoming greater. And as more organizations outsource their IT departments in an
effort to reduce costs, their worries about data confidentiality increase
accordingly.
What is needed is a security solution that only lets authorized user groups
access sensitive data across an organization. Even in-house system
administrators or personnel from the outsourcing company should not be permitted
to see confidential data. SafeGuard LAN Crypt solves this
security issue by using fully automated file encryption to provide effective
protection for confidential files.
The security administrator defines the individual access rights for working
groups and individual users in accordance with the company's security
guidelines. SafeGuard LAN Crypt then bundles these access
rights in encryption profiles. Users are assigned to a unique "key group" based
on their profiles, with which they can read the released files in plain text in
the usual way. Unauthorized persons can only see an enciphered, unreadable
string of characters.
SafeGuard LAN Crypt provides comprehensive protection for
all of a company's data. It is scalable, so it can be used in small temporary
teams, departments, project groups, or throughout entire organizations.
Benefits:
- Central and comfortable administration using existing directories or domains
- Division of power between system administration and security officer
- Transparent data security for user groups and individual users
