Beta Release of Connector for Google Drive for Work From Vaultize

Vaultize Technologies Pvt. Ltd announced the beta release of its anywhere access connector for Google Drive for Work.

Combined with built-in enterprise mobility management, data protection and data loss prevention capabilities, it enables enterprise users to access, edit and share corporate data across Google Drive, file servers and NAS from their mobile devices, with end-to-end security.

“Enterprises today are facing increased demand from their mobile workforce to access, sync and share corporate data that is distributed across many corporate repositories behind the firewall as well as in the cloud (like Google Drive), to remain productive everywhere. The challenges for enterprise IT are multi fold when the data goes beyond the company-managed devices to employee-owned devices through BYOD” said Gary Cooke, chief solutions architect, Vaultize. “Vaultize takes a holistic approach where mobility management, data protection and data loss prevention capabilities are fully integrated into a single enterprise platform to mitigate security, data loss and compliance risks. We are excited to now support secure and managed access to Google Drive on mobile devices while the use of data is completely controlled and managed within the secure container and through Mobile Content Management (MCM) policies. Continuing with our holistic approach, this secure anywhere access to Google Drive perfectly complements Google Apps backup/restore already available in the platform.“

The company is an EFSS vendor which integrates EMM into a single offering – providing enterprises control and visibility over the sensitive corporate data across corporate content repositories – on-premise as well as in the cloud and irrespective of the device used for accessing and sharing – facilitating increased adoption of enterprise-wide mobility even in highly regulated and security-conscious verticals.

Vaultize includes mobile device management features such as remote wipe, data containerization, storage and network encryption, PIN protection and white-listing of apps for mitigation of security and protection concerns with enterprise mobility and BYOD. The company goes beyond MDM with features like automatic wiping based on geo-location or IP address or time-out. It further facilitates MCM through access rights and allows corporate IT to prevent data loss, security and compliance breaches by controlling what users can do with corporate data on their mobile devices using natively built-in document editor.

The apps for iOS and Android have a built-in editor for Microsoft Office documents and PDF annotation. Enterprise IT can have granular control over copy-paste, sharing or opening in third-party mobile applications, printing and emailing. This is made possible through policy driven control over the mobile apps and its built-in document editor. All this combined with the already built-in and patent-pending mobile data containerization technology ensures that data remains secure source-to-destination and cradle-to-grave. Containerization also allows IT to wipe data remotely, or even automatically, based on various policies.
