As workforces get increasingly mobile and
data-transfer technologies make corporate
data ever more accessible, the risk of data
loss or theft and of illegal access to
sensitive information exists:
>
When a person copies files
containing your product specifications,
financial transactions or price lists to a
simple USB key.
>
When a sales manager
downloads from his or her hotel the latest
presentation of your company strategy.
>
When a sub-contractor obtains
from a web meeting the latest R&D plans for
a sensitive project.
>
When a doctor copies a
patient’s healthcare information to his or
her mobile workstation via a Wi-Fi
connection.
In all cases, the real cost is the value of
the lost information. This cost can be very
high if this sensitive data ends up with a
competitor.
To increase the productivity of its
workforce, a company must make information
easier to share and transfer between
employees (e.g. sales managers, R&D,
engineers, marketing people), and between
employees and external partners (e.g.
consultants, suppliers, resellers).
However, the resulting productivity gains
and cost savings should not be obtained to
the detriment of security.
Evidian’s Data Privacy solution enables
enterprises to attain both their security
and mobility targets with two complementary
modules:
>
WiseGuard Mobile Protect: this module
secures both fixed and mobile workstations.
It controls access to workstations thanks to
a removable device containing a security
key. Moreover, Mobile Protect encrypts
sensitive information on a workstation and
prevents data theft.
>
WiseGuard File Encryption:
for securing sensitive information as part
of collaborative work. This module allows
employees to encrypt sensitive data shared
or transferred between members of a project,
workgroup, or business process.
WiseGuard Mobile Protect and WiseGuard File
Encryption are software-only solutions. They
can be purchased independently or as a
supplement to other WiseGuard modules such
as SSOWatch, Advanced Login, and Mobile E-SSO.
WiseGuard Mobile
Protect
It secures both fixed and mobile
workstations. WiseGuard Mobile Protect (see
Figure 1) is a software-only solution for
Windows XP and Windows 2000 workstations. No
additional hardware is required.
WiseGuard Mobile Protect can be combined
with other WiseGuard components such as
SSOWatch, Advanced Login, and Mobile E-SSO.

WiseGuard
File Encryption
It secures sensitive information as part of

Encryption allows employees to encrypt
sensitive data shared or transferred between
members of a project, workgroup or business
process. WiseGuard File Encryption is a
software-only solution for Windows XP and
2000 workstations. No additional hardware is
required. WiseGuard File Encryption can be
combined with other WiseGuard components
such as SSOWatch, Advanced Login and Mobile
E-SSO.
WiseGuard File Encryption allows end-users
to import the encryption keys managed by
administrative authorities. Then, WiseGuard
File Encryption facilitates encryption and
decryption operations. All the encryption
and decryption operations are performed
using right-click menus (see Figure 2).
Several files or folders can be selected.
After one or more files or folders are
selected, the encryption operations are
listed in the right-click menu. Thus, the
end-user can select the key used, and
perform encryption or decryption operations.
