Many serious security breaches occur when employees copy customer data to removable storage devices, email confidential documents to inappropriate parties, print sensitive financial information, or transfer restricted files over insecure wireless networks.

These actions can expose the company to public embarrassment, costly cleanup, lost business, lawsuits and penalties under regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Information Protection is a comprehensive data security service that protects corporate “ information in motion” by monitoring and controlling how data is handled by end users and by enforcing corporate security policies about how data is stored, copied and transferred.

Protects all types of data

The Fiberlink Information Protection service can safeguard documents, spreadsheets, database records, source code files, images, logs and other types of files that include sensitive information.

Monitors and contains sensitive files

Organizations can prevent users from emailing, transferring or printing files that contain sensitive information. IT managers can set and enforce data security policies for end-user behavior tied to specific files and groups of files. With the Information Protection service, users can be blocked from unauthorized:

• Transferring of files via FTP, instant messaging (IM), Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and web uploads.
• Sending of files by personal email.
• File sharing operations.
• Copying of information to uncontrolled media such as CD-ROM and USB devices.
• Transferring of data via USB, Firewire, PCMCIA, Bluetooth and Wireless (802.11 a/b/g) connections.
• Printing or creating .pdf versions of files.

Pop-ups and alerts

Pop-up messages can warn end users if they are potentially violating corporate policies, preventing security breaches from being made through ignorance. When policy violations occur, real-time alerts are sent to administrators so they can take corrective actions immediately.

Audit trail to demonstrate compliance

Comprehensive analytic capabilities that allow IT managers to produce detailed reports and generate complete audit trails of data usage transactions. These can be used for security planning, forensic analysis, risk management and compliance reporting.

No changes to applications

The Information Protection service delivers complete information-in-motion security without the need for expensive recoding or modification of applications.
