In today's highly-competitive corporate environment, maintaining
the confidentiality of proprietary information - patents, source
code, product designs, customer and financial records, competitive
analysis and business plans - is crucial to the success of a
manufacturing company.
At the same time, providing access to data is key to faster
time-to-market and ultimately maintaining competitive edge.
The challenge for manufacturering companies today is how to
effectively share information, making it accessible to necessary
employees and partners, without exposing it. Nowhere is this
challenge more relevant than at the endpoint – home to over
60% of sensitive corporate data, according to studies. The growing
use of PCs/laptops, removable storage, increased reliance on
wireless networking, and prevalence of employee smart phones,
PDA and personal music devices (iPods or MP3 players) in the
workplace means that data once safe inside the firewall may
be so no longer.
Meeting the Challenges Corporate Data Security in Manufacturing
Automatically identifying security and vulnerabilities, while
at the same time enforcing encryption and device usage policies
at the endpoint, Safend Data Protection Suite enables manufacturers
to safeguard sensitive data.
Safend Data Protection Suite guards the wealth of confidential
information on corporate networks by eliminating the risk of
critical data being lost or improperly disclosed via endpoints.
Safend protects information residing on the endpoint from
unauthorized access and prevents the introduction of malware
by monitoring real-time traffic and applying customized, highly-granular
security policies over all PCs/laptops as well as physical,
wireless and storage devices. Safend detects, logs and restricts
unapproved data transfer 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 stored on laptops, external storage devices and CD/DVDs.
Safend Data Protection Suite facilitates compliance with
existing and emerging privacy standards. With Safend, internal
and external exchange of information is streamlined, without
compromising data security or raising liability. Safend Data
Protection Suite allows manufacturing companies to:
- Centrally monitor and control inbound and outbound data
traffic through the multitude of endpoints ports at regional
and corporate offices
- Eliminate the risk of corporate IP from being lost or
improperly disclosed through negligent or unauthorized use
of PCs/laptops and wireless and removable storage devices
- Secure information allowed for transfer to removable
devices with the enforced encryption of data stored on laptops,
external storage devices and CD/DVDs
- Prevent malware and keyloggers from “snooping” or stealing
patents and other confidential information
- Comply with the data security and privacy standards
of SOX, PCI and others.
