Verdasys Supports Citrix Sharefile

Verdasys
Inc. announced support for Citrix
ShareFile in its Digital Guardian Enterprise Information Protection platform.

Digital
Guardian extends the ShareFile security model with data
classification, data event monitoring and data controls, including
file encryption, protecting data across the enterprise. Digital
Guardian with ShareFile delivers data loss prevention, data usage
control, mobility and collaboration to organizations in regulated
businesses, government and intellectual property-centric industries.

ShareFile is an enterprise data
solution that allows users to sync and share data from any device.
Digital Guardian is a data security platform that monitors,
classifies, controls and encrypts information on desktops, laptops,
servers, virtual environments and mobile devices. It’s capable of
classifying data based on content, context and/or user input, tagging
files accordingly – a data-centric approach which allows for
differentiated policies that provide controls, without breaking
business processes. With this support for ShareFile, enterprises can,
for example, see users moving data to unapproved media such as
personal cloud storage, USB sticks, and CD/DVDs and can block and
redirect these data movements to ShareFile as appropriate.

According to Verdasys CEO Jim Ricotta,
"Digital Guardian and ShareFile are ideal for any enterprise
with sensitive information such as customer data or intellectual
property requiring a more secure alternative to consumer-style
file-sharing services – one that protects information based on its
sensitivity and the context of its use even after it leaves the
control of ShareFile. This allows mobile users to work with the
information they need from any device, anywhere and anytime."

Jesse Lipson, VP and GM, Data Sharing,
Citrix added: "Many organizations are seeking end-to-end
protection of sensitive data. With Digital Guardian and ShareFile,
they can secure such information across environments without
disrupting employee and partner collaboration."

Digital Guardian utilizes end point
agents to enforce data access control policies using multiple
mechanisms including user warnings and blocking, as well as
encryption. The enterprise key management capabilities enable
information to be encrypted and decrypted as it is used in normal
business processes. Encryption ensures that data is secure once out
of ShareFile, on an end user device and beyond.

Files copied to ShareFile can be
encrypted by Digital Guardian based on classification-driven
policies. Users can access encrypted files on environments with a
Digital Guardian agent, including:
