Let ’ s Talk About Data Security — a New Way
Let ’ s start off by telling you about us : we are Micro Systems Management ( MSM ), an IT and cyber security firm . We ’ ve been in business since 1987 by being innovative , staying on top of technological developments and predicting what is on the technological horizon . Our technology and security expertise lift us above the typical IT company and staff .
Data security is at a crucial crossroads in IT history with the advent of ransomware , account takeovers , phishing , key person impersonation and the growing number of types and scope of attacks . The old ransomware strategy was to infiltrate and encrypt a company ’ s data , then demand a ransom to have the data un-encrypted . The new strategy is to infiltrate and remotely observe the affected computer ’ s activity and monetize or demand the ransom but not with the threat of never unencrypting the data . Instead , the new threat is to release the data to the wild . Think about it : if you don ’ t pay the ransom , whatever sensitive data hackers have had access to over the months would now be posted on the internet , including bank statements , protected health information , trade secrets and intellectual property .
Current cyber security solutions are centered around securing your company ’ s IT infrastructure and users , which is certainly a great place to start . We have found Barracuda ’ s security product lines to be best in class — cost effective and secure . Barracuda ’ s email security service with advanced threat detection guards your users against malicious email phishing . Barracuda ’ s products are award-winning , offering a complete line of security and storage options for any size company — even the sole proprietor .
However , cyber security has been a bit short sighted , in our humble opinion . What about the sensitive data that gets shared beyond your data policy rules ? There has not been an easy-to-use data-centric cyber security solution until now . Do you handle sensitive data — company financials , intellectual property or company trade secrets ? Now that we are a workforce of remote access and remote workers , it is more difficult than ever to ensure data is being seen , shared or accessed only by authorized individuals and in authorized ways . There has been a missing link in cyber security — a data-centric way to secure sensitive files and data . Companies have needed a solution beyond our networkcentric infrastructure and user security .
Enter DAtAnchor , a simple solution to the daily growing cyber threat of data being seen and used in unauthorized ways . The IT admin or director sets a series of physical or logical rules to an anchored file . Should an access rule ever be broken , even when a file is in use , Anchor automatically shuts it down and scrubs the data from memory . Access is instantly revoked . In addition to desktop , Anchor provides web and mobile app access to Anchored files . These provide a way to access sensitive data on the go . Every time an anchored file is used , even copied across the internet , the action is logged , providing a granular and complete audit trail and demonstrating compliance and evidence the data was not breached . It works universally with cloud platforms , as well as self-hosted file servers . Anchor is easy to deploy , configure and manage while also being affordable to companies of all sizes .
Securing your company ’ s lifeblood — its data — is our passion . Want to know more about the winning combination of securing your data with Barracuda and DAtAnchor ? Contact us today .
