Endpoint Solutions
As business working practices and technology evolve the corporate endpoint becomes ever more diverse. As flexible home working initiatives, business continuity requirements in the event of terrorist or pandemic situations become common place the endpoint has increasingly moved outside of the traditional corporate perimeter. This transition has also coincided with the increased use of smart-phones, PDAs and wireless networks to connect and access corporate information from both within the enterprise and externally to it.
These advances, though beneficial, have dramatically increased the corporate exposure to data loss, unauthorised access and reputational damage if sufficient security measures are not implemented.
Endpoint security logically extends to the management and administration of these security measures, as well as to the risk, reporting, and knowledge management of the state and results of these measures. The ultimate goal for an enterprise is to protect the WAN and LAN endpoints and to maintain a safe productivity level that results in improving business results while reducing costs and losses due to security incidents.
Armadillo's comprehensive portfolio of endpoint security solutions includes authentication, disk encryption, device and application control and anti-virus allowing us to cover the whole spectrum of threats from unintentional to intentional.
Authentication
Two-factor authentication is a system wherein two different factors are used in conjunction to authenticate. Using two factors delivers a higher level of authentication assurance and prevents unauthorised access to confidential network data and applications.
Device Control
Device control enforces organization-wide usage policies for removable devices, removable media, and data (such as read/write, encryption). Device Control enables organizations to embrace productivity-enhancing tools while limiting the potential for data leakage and its impact.
Disk Encryption
Full disk encryption software encrypts every bit of data that goes on a disk or disk volume and supports pre-boot authentication. Encrypting disks is now becoming critical due to recent high profile data losses.
Anti-Virus
Antivirus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and other forms of malware.
Portable Security, Authentication and Virtualisation
The challenge for enterprise IT has become one of balancing the enormous productivity benefits of flash drives with the threats they pose to the organization. Flash drives pose a risk of data loss, leakage and malware attack if not centrally controlled and secured. Whilst controlling these drives it is important to leverage the investment in a secure solution, which can be achieved with multi-use keys that allow secure storage of authentication keys, passwords and also a virtualised environment to enable remote workers to connect to corporate networks in the most secure manner.
