ISSUE: Data Leakage

DESCRIPTION

Data leakage is about keeping your information yours.  It does not necessarily mean your data is lost, only that the confidentiality of it is lost.  Encryption is necessary, but not sufficient for security.  Encrypting a file keeps the information within a designated group of people entitled to access it, but it does not contain all the things individuals could do to leak sensitive data.  

What is needed is a comprehensive system involving encryption and management of device activities, which do not unduly interfere with the usability of information. 

Measures to contain data leakage require a multi-layered approach involving:

  • Encryption of data
  • Security policy enforcement
  • Device management including port control, access and process control
  • Control of USB and other removable storage
  • Control of applications including email, posting to FTP, and other web sites
  • Control of malware and spyware

 

PacketDNA Solution

Our Context Smart Encryption Management system ensures that your sensitive data is always kept confidential on the device, over-the-air and on the network. 

Our central integrated web based console provides an easy way of configuring, deploying, managing and enforcing security policies. Additionally, since there is no endpoint user interface, there is no way for users to circumvent policy.

Our Device Manager allows the configuration and enforcement of the following: 

  • USB or other storage devices can be registered with the system, ensuring that only authorized devices will operate with the system
  • Access or restriction of wireless and network connection
  • Access or denial of USB or other ports
  • Processes such as cut, paste as well as copy permissions can be restricted
  • Executable code and applications that are not registered with the system can be prevented from running. Thus, viruses and Trojans are prevented from running.
