Encryption for Laptops, Memory Sticks and Email
The rapid increase in remote working, and the general ease with which data can be moved from a trusted environment to one with public access, has led to critical concerns over how data is protected. Both legitimate and illegitimate movement of business information has become the focus of corporate and media attention as the true depth of the problem has become apparent.
Encryption offers the easiest and most secure option for protecting valuable, or sensitive, information. Whether the data be on a laptop, USB stick or being sent via email, Data Connect have products and services to ensure it’s security.
Products that encrypt part or all of a computer’s hard-drive are not new, and in fact these solutions have gone through a number of generations. Early versions provided stand-alone support for disk encryption, but with no central support should something go wrong. Later releases included central management, which in some cases have progressed to fully managed services.
The control of data sticks has become a much wider issue than that of laptops. Many users have their own media, so companies without a policy on their usage find it impossible to accurately audit and protect information on these devices. Data Connect have a range of solutions to address this issue, from simple encryption, to full end-point-security options.
A vast amount of information is transmitted through email, or stored in user folders, or on back-up servers. This information often contains business critical details, maybe including Human Resource information, which needs to be protected. Data Connect can provide the latest information on the options available to secure email based data.
