Reading, UK – 11th
April 2013 – Security and networking value added distributor, Cloud
Distribution, has announced a new
partnership with Watchful Software, a leading
provider of data-centric information security solutions. Cloud
Distribution will distribute Watchful Software’s RightsWATCH product, a
powerful encryption offering that keeps data secure regardless of
whether it is at rest, 'on-the-fly', or even totally outside a network
perimeter.
The
new partnership between Cloud Distribution and Watchful Software aims to address
“Insider Security Violations”, an increasingly significant concern for UK
technology users as recently identified by industry firm Global Knowledge.
Global Knowledge listed ‘Insider Violations’ as number seven on the Top Ten
Security Risks of 2013. Whilst many of these types of breaches will be
unintended, unfortunately the firm suggested that there will likely be an
increase of intentional malicious actions on the part of employees as there is
a growing underground black market for the sale and distribution of product
information and company secrets.
Adam
Davison, Director of Product Development at Cloud Distribution, comments: “The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon really highlighted the
importance of securing business critical information, as it makes it easy for
employees to access company documents anywhere and anytime. Our channel partners recognise that supplying
solutions that only secure
the network perimeter is no longer enough to keep enterprises safe and have
been looking for a product that
focuses on shielding the information itself. RightsWATCH addresses this need,
offering a cost-effective solution to truly protect a company’s greatest asset - its data.”
RightsWATCH only
allows users with express authorisation to company data of any form (email,
document, spreadsheet, business plan) to access and use it, regardless of whether
that information is stored inside or outside of the network. Information is protected
whether stored on a corporate server, a laptop, a web-drive or even a USB, as
well as when it is in use and in transit. RightsWATCH
leverages the capabilities of traditional DLP (data loss prevention) and ERM (enterprise
risk management) approaches and offers a single solution that is simple to
deploy, delivering a
transparent and intuitive user experience on multiple platforms and file types.
To
protect the enterprise legally and from an audit and compliance perspective,
RightsWATCH can also implement automatic and dynamic fingerprinting and visual
watermarking to protected content - decreasing corporate liability in case of
an information security breach. The solution provides a complete audit trail on both user and
systems admin actions for the life of the object; knowing things such as who
opened, edited, printed or forwarded the information thereby enabling
organisations to be compliant with regulations and best practices.
Charles
Foley, Chairman and CEO of Watchful Solutions, said: “Cloud Distribution is a
well-respected distributor of next generation solutions and has a deep
knowledge of the security market. The team understands of all the issues
involved surrounding risk management, best practice, audit
and compliance and offers a
wide variety of complimentary services and tools that will accelerate our go to
market strategy. We are confident that partnering will Cloud Distribution will
offer us the best possible platform to widen and strengthen the adoption of RightsWATCH in the UK.”
