AlertBoot extends comprehensive, centrally managed hard disk encryption and data security to customers with Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise. – July 2, 2010 – IT security and data protection firm Sophos announced today that it has partnered with AlertBoot, a provider of cloud-based full disk encryption services, to extend comprehensive, customizable full disk encryption technology from Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise – an advanced, multi-layered endpoint data security encryption and data leakage prevention (DLP) solution - to AlertBoot's enterprise customers. With mounting targeted attacks from sophisticated cybercriminals looking to steal data and new privacy and data security regulations, businesses need to ensure that encryption is part of their overall security strategy if they want to avoid negative impacts on their business's reputation and profitability. The most important step in stopping data loss is to encrypt sensitive information, laptops and removable storage devices. If data is encrypted with a password, it cannot be deciphered or accessed unless the password is known. This means that even if all other security measures fail to prevent a hacker from accessing a business's most sensitive data, he or she will not be able to read it and compromise the confidentiality of that information. "Many organizations are finding it difficult to implement and manage security as part of their day-to-day business operations. Although all companies are at risk for lost or stolen data, many do not have the resources necessary for full data encryption," said Tim Maliyil, CEO of AlertBoot. "With AlertBoot's managed data encryption service, we are taking the pressure off of companies and their employees. By providing an easy-to-use, cloud-based solution, AlertBoot simplifies encryption for organizations and their end-users, giving individuals the flexibility to focus on their business objectives, instead of security operations." |
