SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced the
release of Voltage SmartCipher, a new offering that provides secure
collaboration and simplifies unstructured data protection and
management by combining critical technology features into a single
solution for endpoint privacy and security. Voltage SmartCipher
transparently works with any data type, including on-premises or
cloud offerings, enabling organizations to safely leverage
information for business value while also protecting the privacy of
this unstructured data.
The exponential growth of sensitive files represents the biggest
challenge that information security professionals face. By 2025 it
is expected that unstructured data will account for up to 80% of
the global data volume that will reach 163 zetabytes, ten times
more than in 2016.* In order to attain insights from this growing
data set without exposing the organization to unnecessary risk,
organizations must discover and classify files containing sensitive
data. By proactively flagging this information, both internal and
external users will be able to more effectively share files across
multiple platforms in accordance with security and privacy
requirements.
"Whether complying with privacy regulations, such as GDPR or the
newly-enacted CCPA, or extending data privacy during collaboration
in the cloud for consistency, Voltage SmartCipher and the Micro
Focus portfolio protect sensitive data with granular privacy
controls for users, applications, and data to reduce privacy breach
risk," said Tony de la Lama, Vice
President, Security, Risk & Governance Solutions at Micro
Focus. "The introduction of Voltage SmartCipher to the market means
customers and organizations can now rely on a single, truly
transparent solution that comprehensively manages and secures
information, detects and responds to data breaches, and enforces
identity and access controls."
Voltage SmartCipher benefits and features include:
- Secure collaboration across environments –
Voltage SmartCipher's patented Transparent File Encryption
technology embeds access and protection policy around individual
files and the data contained within to prevent unauthorized access
to content or policy.
- Increase visibility and control with centralized policy
management – Enables increased visibility and control over
sensitive files with centralized access and use policy managed
centrally and enforced locally at a file level. New policies can be
dynamically implemented and synchronized with files on endpoints or
collaboration platforms.
- Improve and accelerate compliance audits with real-time
monitoring, discovery, and classification – Featuring built-in
file usage monitoring and alerting that allows enterprises to
determine when, where, and how individual files are accessed and
altered, and by whom, to provide broad control and protection over
unstructured data.
- Seamless, non-disruptive implementation – Voltage
SmartCipher may be implemented in stages, according to the needs of
enterprises, allowing administrators to map file location and
roll-out file protection without disruption.
Voltage SmartCipher extends data protection capabilities to the
industry–leading Voltage portfolio by adding unstructured data
protection and management, enhancing Micro Focus' portfolio of
lifecycle security solutions for data privacy.
