Workshare Introduces Corporate Information Safeguard Tools

Workshare has delivered Trace Enterprise Network and Endpoint Risk Assessment Tools to identify outbound content risks.

Hitachi has added performance and functionality enhancements, including a 25% boost to overall system performance, delivering 2.5 million IOPS (input-output operations per second) of maximum power. The boosted USP reportedly has the ability to accelerate applications such as Oracle Financials and Microsoft SQL Server, while improving the performance of virtualized tiered storage environments.

The company has announced the immediate availability of the Trace Enterprise Network risk assessment appliance and Trace Enterprise Client software. These tools will provide users with visibility into outbound content security risks in order to prevent any confidential or sensitive information from leaking outside their organisation.

“Most companies now have a handle on hackers, spam and viruses, but establishing automated policies and processes to protect what information leaves the boundaries of an organisation is a higher priority today,” says Workshare’s Asia Pacific Director, Ms Samia Rauf. In recent years, Australian enterprises like Westpac, the NSW Police and the Victorian Government and global companies like Google, the U.N. and Merck have suffered financial penalty or faced backlash from regulatory bodies, the media and customers following inadvertent data leaks.

The Trace Enterprise Network risk assessment appliance is to be set up at the network gateway and can monitor real-time data in motion over outbound email and web traffic for a term of two days to two weeks. Trace Enterprise Endpoint risk assessment software can analyse both data at rest and historical data in motion over a sampling of end-users and systems, from one to hundreds. The client software can be run on a sample of machines as an installed executable or can be run directly off a USB drive.

Workshare claims that both the appliance and the endpoint software are pre-configured with standard content security polices for privacy, finance and intellectual property disclosure and hidden data risk and will allow customers to customise the policies to match corporate content security concerns.

The tools can be deployed for up to two-weeks at a nominal fee as part of the Workshare Risk Assessment Service.
