- Meets Emerging Demands for Cross-Border Data
Security
SYDNEY, March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Intralinks, a
leading financial technology provider for the global banking, deal
making and capital markets communities, today announces its
strategic investment in Asia
Pacific, as the company deploys its Distributed Content Node
technology in Australia.
Furthering the Intralinks Platform expansion in Germany, this innovative technology will
benefit customers of Intralinks' market-leading VDR by providing
faster access speed with the added confidence of having their data
processed and stored in-region. This deployment comes as Intralinks
continues to experience high growth rates in the Asia Pacific region.
"Asia Pacific is a
strategically important geography for Intralinks," said
Leif O'Leary, Chief Executive
Officer, Intralinks. "As data sovereignty regulations such as The
Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, associated to those governed by
The Federal Privacy Act 1988, come into effect it is evident that
regulators are becoming stringent in their enforcement. Governments
are making relentless efforts to make their citizens conscious of
their rights and responsibilities. It has resulted in our customers
mulling over data privacy more seriously than ever before. These
regulations join others from all over the world, such as the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and task all global organisations with
the unwavering duty of protecting personal information."
The Intralinks Trust Perimeter allows Intralinks customers to
"Choose Their Own Perimeter," controlling the flow of information
as it moves around the world, while meeting growing regulatory
compliance demands. Intralinks provides its customers with a number
of capabilities to empower them not only to work more productively
but also to provide security standards that are essential for
protecting customer information (including Personal Information) to
ensure successful compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements.
Intralinks has created an industry-leading platform
architecture, which includes advanced technology like the
Distributed Content Node, which has recently been deployed in
Australia. Content Node technology
provides customers with complete control over the location of their
data. It means Intralinks' customers' most valuable data does not
need to leave the Asia Pacific
region.
As part of the Intralinks Trust Perimeter, Intralinks customers
can determine:
- Where their encryption keys reside: Intralinks was the
first-to-market the groundbreaking technology of Customer Managed
Encryption Keys (CMK). This provides customers with full and sole
control over the ability to manage the encryption keys that are
used to protect their proprietary and confidential data in the
cloud. Intralinks customers have exclusive right to determine the
location of their encryption keys.
- How sensitive and confidential information is consumed,
downloaded and edited at the file level, around the world:
Intralinks' Information Rights Management (IRM) protects customers'
sensitive files wherever they are in the world, and on any device.
IRM attaches special controls to files that not only regulates
their sharing but also facilitates their tracking and monitoring,
and also assists in the ultimate revocation of the files as and
when needed by the customer. It offers plugin-free security which
not only protects the file when it is at rest but also travels with
the document wherever it goes.
"Businesses need to know how they can retain control over their
information once it leaves the traditional firewall. The Intralinks
Trust Perimeter gives customers what they need to define a new,
global perimeter around their information, while meeting rigorous
data protection standards globally," concludes O'Leary.
More than 15,000 businesses globally have relied on Intralinks
to protect their most mission-critical and high-risk information –
and over 80% of information held on the Intralinks platform is
classified as highly sensitive.
In Intralinks' 22-year history, over 4.1 million business users
across the world have used the platform.
