Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management

Data Encryption

Information is the life-blood of your organization: the sensitive customer records, the trade secrets, the executive briefing materials. Once upon a time this data would be relatively safe because it lived on a central server or mainframe, but now it is probably on a workstation or notebook. That mobility makes your business more flexible and responsive, but it also makes that critical data far more vulnerable.

You can't rely on infrastructure solutions to protect this critical information, because in many cases the infrastructure simply isn't involved: both the information and the attacker trying to steal it are on a customer site, in a hotel, or at a wireless hotspot. And even if the notebook or workstation itself is not stolen, gigabytes of data can be copied to a thumbdrive and taken away in a matter of seconds.

To protect this data from prying eyes, you need to use encryption. This can ensure that even if an attacker gets their hands on the data, it is unreadable and unusable. But not just any encryption solution will work in the enterprise setting: the encryption system and its key-management need to be centrally controlled and coordinated, because otherwise each protected notebook or workstation becomes cut off from the others and productivity is badly hurt.

ZENworks Endpoint Security Management gives you the ability to protect your mobile data by actively enforcing your corporate encryption policy on the endpoint itself.

• Centrally create, distribute, enforce and audit encryption policies on all endpoints and removable storage devices
• Encrypt all files saved or copied to a specific directory on a volume
• Encrypt all files copied to removable storage devices
• Manage keys through the Management Console, which also controls firewall, wireless security, VPN enforcement, endpoint integrity and removable storage device security
• Share files freely within an organization while blocking unauthorized access to files
• Share password-protected, encrypted files with people outside the organization through an available decryption utility
• Easily update, backup and recover keys according to policy without losing data
