Data Security for the Mobile Workforce

The Mobile Workforce is growing and the amount of sensitive data that they are being entrusted with is beyond comprehension. This workforce represents capacities from Insurance Agent and my Pharmaceutical Representative to the Defense Contractor, Attorney and IRS Agent; each one of these individuals carrying confidential information. Every day we hear of a “new” breach where a laptop or an external drive and its’ contents were lost or stolen. We now live in a world where it is no longer “IF” data is lost or stolen, but rather “WHEN” data will be lost or stolen. Now more than ever encryption is paramount.

In addition to “common sense” security Government Agencies are imposing compliance guidelines that must be adhered to. And if that wasn’t enough, Insurance Companies that provide “Data Breach Insurance” that insure companies from loss of data have additional criteria that need to be met. So you can see there is a lot to be managed and audited.

At the end of the day one must be honest with themselves whether Data Security is paramount or “just being in compliance” is the objective. Either way we can help, but we first must answer this most difficult question. An analogy “Anheuser Busch, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Coca Cola all know that 100% of the company’s livelihood rests on its’ IP (Intellectual Property). Security is paramount and there is no amount of Data Breach Insurance that will right the wrong of losing their brand defining recipes. Conversely, you are a customer at ABC bank and are a victim of identity theft. As long as you are in compliance with regulatory and insurer mandates your insurance will pay the claim, quickly and quietly. Admission of a breach in many cases can be more costly than the actual breach itself.

As the number of your mobile employees and contractors grows, so does your risk of data leakage and failure to comply with the mandates imposed by these and other laws and standards. The truth is, your compliance efforts can be compromised with startling ease if mobile employees fail to safeguard their digital identities, portable workspaces, and the customer records and financial data they take home or on the road.

 

 

CE Secure is Compliance

The price of non-compliance for both Government agencies and the private sector can range from a loss of public trust and increased oversight to multi-million dollar class-action lawsuits and catastrophic complete loss of business.

Agencies and contractors with mobile employees carry tremendous responsibility for securing data, identities and applications. To operate efficiently in an increasingly mobile world, they must give authorized users anytime access to sensitive data without compromising user identities, core applications or protected networks. To comply with data security requirements, they must be able to monitor and track data access and use regardless of where employees carry it – and then document that activity in audits and reports. All the while, these same organizations are also expected to keep mobile workers productive irrespective of conditions and disasters that threaten their ability to do their jobs.

CE Secure Mobile Workforce Solution Features

MOBILE STORAGE PROTECTION

CMS’ CE Secure™ family of flash drives and external hard drives, along with CE Secure™ line of hardened, tamper-evident flash drives, lock down sensitive data with an on-board, hardware encryption engine that puts a military-grade, AES-256 wall between unauthorized users and the drive’s contents.

MAINTAIN DATA CONTROL

The security protections built into CMS’ encrypted USB drives are rough and tough. And by choosing from an array of scalable, intuitive platforms for establishing and policing your employees’ use of CE Secure™ drives, you can ensure that mobile employees are using strong passwords and taking other measures to take full advantage of those capabilities. From a central console, set policies for passwords, application use, recovery, and more – across a handful of drives or thousands of them. Depending on the CMS solution you deploy, you can also manage and update device drivers and applications, administer identity protection features, and create whitelists of approved IP addresses to control where devices and applications can be used. And if a drive is lost or stolen, you can even remotely erase it or destroy it.

DISASTER RECOVERY

Power outages, severe storms, earthquakes, fires – any of these might usually impact your ongoing operations. But CMS’ secure mobile storage and portable workspace solutions help keep workers productive even when they can’t make it into the office.

MOBILE USER-FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS

There’s no need for employees to install drivers or other software to securely access their stored data, workspace or applications. CMS drives come pre-loaded with everything users need, and they leave no trace on the host PC.

DATA SHIELD AND SAFEGUARDS

In addition to the combined safeguards of encryption, multi-factor authentication and hardened enclosures, some of CMS’ enterprise-class mobile storage solutions come with anti-virus and anti-malware protections, either as a standard feature or as an option.

SOLUTIONS FOR THE ROAD WARRIOR

When a mobile employee’s digital identity is compromised, your network, your applications, and your data all become vulnerable. That’s why CMS offers strong, multifactor authentication on CMS CE Secure drives. And for users of CE Secure™ drives, CMS offers enterprise-class identity management capabilities – combining Public Key crypto services, strong password authentication and strong password management – to shield identities out in the wild. Only CMS integrates these sophisticated protections with encrypted storage in a single mobile device.

SEAMLESS SECURITY

Mobile data security involves more than just locking down data. Workers need the flexibility of working from any PC, and they get it with CMS’ portable workspace solutions. These solutions, available on CMS’ encrypted USB flash drives and hard drives, add another dimension to mobile security by enabling employees and contractors to safely work from any computer – at the office, at home, or on the road – Hardware encryption and strong authentication keep confidential data where it belongs.

COMPLIANCE MADE EASY

Complying with data security mandates doesn’t have to be a headache. Use CMS’ advanced reporting and auditing capabilities to document how, where and when users have accessed, saved or modified confidential data. And for maximum flexibility, CMS offers you both premise-based management solutions (when device management must reside behind your firewall) and cloud-based management solutions (eliminates the need for capital investments in servers and other hardware).
