GEC NEWS WIREUnleashes New Approach in Data Protection Delivering Encryption without Compromise
Sophos announced a new approach to data protection with the latest release of SafeGuard Encryption. Enabling wide scale adoption, Sophos is addressing the two biggest issues in encryption, performance and usability, by leveraging native operating system (OS) encryption for better performance, and delivering multiplatform management across all devices and Cloud environments. Sophos is the only vendor to offer Native Encryption, Device Encryption, Cloud, Mobile, Removable and File Server encryption in one centrally managed solution, for unmatched security, performance, and an intuitive user experience.
“We’re pleased to deliver SafeGuard Encryption with a different approach that enables people to work the way they want for new levels of productivity, without sacrificing time, performance or features,” said Dan Schiappa, vice president and general manager, end user protection group, Sophos. “With today’s announcement we enable organizations to fully embrace a data-centric approach to encryption, to reach compliance standards, and maintain credibility and good standing in today’s market.”
The latest version of Sophos SafeGuard also solves the major challenge of managing encryption across multiple platforms, devices, and cloud environments. Users and IT staff are now able to share data safely between Windows, Mac and mobile devices – securing data wherever it lives and wherever it is sent. Managing multiple devices eliminates the multiple console problem, and enables IT to fully embrace encryption, as organizations use a multitude of devices and platforms to support their users.
Sophos Partner, KDSA Consulting has implemented SafeGuard Encryption at several customer sites. Don Reczak, Director of Technology Solutions at KDSA Consulting, said, “Sophos is an ideal partner for us because their solutions can easily scale to our clients’ requirements. We believe Sophos SafeGuard Encryption is a major step forward in data protection. It’s easy to manage, and enables organizations to take a complete approach to protecting its crown jewels – their users and their information. We have already worked with some of our customers in taking a look at SafeGuard Encryption, and will encourage many more.”
