Today, government agencies are obligated to maintain ever
higher levels of security, availability and accountability.
Required to closely protect information under regulatory statutes
like HIPAA and the Federal Information Security Management Act
(FISMA), agencies are simultaneously required to communicate
with vast numbers of citizens under the Freedom of Information
Act, and share information with other agencies to facilitate
important governmental initiatives.
Maintaining the internal and external flow of sensitive data
while protecting it is one of the key challenges facing governmental
organizations today. Since data can no longer be closely held
inside the firewall, data leakage – both accidental and malicious
– is a very real threat.
Nowhere is sensitive government data more vulnerable than
at the endpoint. Growing numbers of PCs/laptops, removable storage
devices, the use of wireless ports and users with access to
sensitive information have made data leakage and introduction
of malware at the endpoints prevalent and dangerous.
Meeting the Challenges of Government Data Security
Safend Data Protection Suite enable government organizations
to lower the risk of data loss by automatically identifying
security and operational vulnerabilities and enforcing encryption
and device usage policies at the endpoint.
Safend Data Protection Suite guard the wealth of confidential
data handled by government agencies by eliminating the risk
of critical data being lost or improperly disclosed.
Safend Data Protection Suite is Common Criteria EAL2 Certified,
and is in "Coordination" phase of FIBS 140-2 certification process.
Safend protects information residing on the endpoint from
unauthorized access by encrypting PC and laptop hard disks and
applying customized, highly-granular security policies over
all physical, wireless and storage devices. Safend detects,
logs and restricts unapproved data transfers from any computer
in the enterprise – protecting each computer 100% of the time,
even when it is not connected to the network, and also enforcing
encryption of data transferred to external storage devices,
including CD/DVDs.
With Safend, internal and external governmental exchange
of information is streamlined, without compromising data security
or raising liability. Safend solutions allow government agencies
to:
- Meet strict requirements posed Common Criteria Evaluation
and Validation Scheme for IT Security(CCEVS)
- Comply with data security privacy standards such as
HIPAA and state legislation
- Centrally monitor and control devices and ports while
reducing endpoint security TCO
- Eliminate the risk of sensitive data being improperly
disclosed through negligent or unauthorized use of wireless
ports and removable storage devices.
- Secure PC and laptops using hard disk encryption
- Protect information allowed for transfer to removable
devices with the enforced encryption of data written
to external storage devices and CD/DVDs
- Guard data from the threat of malware and hardware keylogger
