Ward Solutions recognises that Enterprise data is inherently portable reflecting working patterns of the mobile workforce and workplace. This mobility of data significantly increases the risk of inadvertent or malicious loss or theft and fraudulent manipulation of this data.

We have full experience of all of the different channels through which this data can leak out of organisations network and security boundaries, through normal use via:

Portable media devices – USB storage keys, portable media players, CDs, DVD's
Email
FTP
Portable Computing Devices e.g. laptops and PDA's
Tele-working – e.g. via remote access to home desktops

We understand that these mobility and access capabilities significantly increases the attack surface area offered to malicious users (internal and external) to steal, damage, commit fraud or otherwise abuse enterprise data.

We understand the legal/compliance, financial and personal consequences that this can bring to organisations and individuals.

We also understand the challenges of data controllers, risk managers, ICT managers have in trying to mitigate and control risks to their data whilst at the same time leveraging all of the capabilities that IT systems and systems have to offer.

For over 10 years Ward Solutions have been providing our customers with the strongest possible solutions to protect their data - whether mobile or at rest.

We have helped a wide range of Government, Public Agency and Private Sector customers address these risks and threats in a manner that provides:

Solutions that address clearly defined security policies and requirements

About Ward Solutions and McAfee

Ward are an Elite McAfee partner. We supply data protection and endpoint security solutions based on the McAfee suite of products which may be either deployed on a point solution or fully integrated suite basis.

McAfee Data Encryption Solutions

McAfee offers multiple options to enable you to reliably and securely encrypt your data on your devices, files systems or your applications.

USB Encryption Solutions
McAfee Encrypted USB devices - portable storage media are typically treated as commodity by organisations and user and either excluded from organisations Data handling security policy or offer policy enforcement and audit problems. Yet they often contain sensitive corporate information, presentations, proposals, business plans etc . McAfee encrypted USB devices offer a range of devices with varying storage capacity which fully secure the data they contain.

McAfee Endpoint Encryption Solutions

McAfee Endpoint encryption ensure transparent protection of information assets on fixed and mobile computing devices, including desktops, laptops, netbooks, mobile devices such as PDA's as well as portable storage devices. McAfee's Endpoint encryption also protects virtualised environments, often overlooked by other endpoint vendors.

Computing device encryption with strong access control and pre-boot authentication
File and Folder encryption - encrypts specific files and folders as they are shared or moved through the organisation
Removable Media - protects removable devices that can connect to endpoint devices such as portable hard drives, media players, CD/DVD devices etc.
Mobile Device encryption - often an organisations blind spot for data loss or leakage. Protects data embedded in mobile device applications such as emails and downloaded attachments, calendar data, contacts, texts etc.
Virtual and physical device/storage encryption.

McAfee Data Loss Prevention Solutions

McAfee data loss prevention solutions helps organisations to protect sensitive and hard to control privacy data such as financial information, HR information, intellectual property. McAfee DLP helps protect data in motion, detect inappropriate access and movement and protect unauthorised access, disclosure, removal or modification of this data. The McAfee DLP suite comprises McAfee Network DLP Manager designed to enterprises that have multiple DLP appliances deployed Read More.. McAfee Network DLP prevent helps enforce security policies for information moving around or leaving the network

McAfee Network DLP Monitor gives organisations the real time visibility over your data and how it moves around and leaves your network. This allows you to identify and protect sensitive information to create rules to prevent future insecure or inappropriate behaviour.

McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention organisation face significant risk for inadvertent or malicious user behaviour with their data at the endpoint. This is often the area of exposure and device that is most difficult to control and enforce policy upon. McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention helps monitor and prevent risky user behaviour that can lead to sensitive data breach. This end point protection works across the network, through applications and via removable media.

McAfee Network DLP Discover helps you identity data loss risks by discovering and labelling sensitive information in major repositories residing on laptops, shared file servers, portals etc. Once this information is identified and labelled then you can create protection rules and register this information to adjacent information security systems to protect it.

McAfee device control helps you monitor and restrict data copied to removable storage media and keep it from leaving company control.

Securing Mobile Devices – e.g. PDA's, Phones

Lost or stolen mobile devices (e.g. PDA's, Phones) typically are an organisations data protection blind spot. They usually contain similar confidential company communications and information to Laptops. Applications such as push email make it even more difficult to keep track of the information stored on these highly mobile smartphones and PDAs. Pointsec Mobile completely secures enterprise data stored on these smartphones and PDAs running Symbian, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphone and Palm operating systems. Device and memory card data are encrypted automatically without user intervention, providing a user-transparent yet fully-enforceable security policy.

Securing Data at Rest and in Motion

Data Security and Endpoint solutions are highly effective in securing data at rest on a mobile device, hard drive or removable media. A lot of organisations cannot provide similar security for highly confidential documents and data in motion once it leaves the secured device or the organisations security and network boundaries – e.g. a document sent or accessed from an unprotected device – e.g. a home PC or a partner or customer organisation.

Similarly organisations have difficulty preventing or protecting data once it has been printed or its image has been captured (PrintScreen) from a secured PC into other unsecured applications. Traditional solutions involve complex encryption/key distribution and key management solutions that have prohibited ease of deployment and use.

Oracles Information Rights Management Solution provides a highly innovative way of data protection and data loss prevention (DPL) or Information Rights Management (IRM) that transcends traditional enterprise security boundaries. It provides highly granular controls, ease of deployment and full audit capabilities on most common document formats in a manner that is easily and cost effectively deployed and operated.
