Sensitive Document & Password Management

Cyber-Ark: Strong Data Protection

For some business processes, even the strongest conventional security systems are not enough. Industrial secrets, confidential financial details, intellectual property - these and many types of sensitive information require even deeper levels of protection. The need is still greater in the context of rigorous corporate governance regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and PCI. Yet, at the same time, corporate partnership strategies and multi-national operations can often mean that remote third parties must be allowed access to the protected files.

Inter-Business Vault
ITC’s managed secure document service provides the kind of intelligent, strong protection required for the most sensitive business data, while still enabling effective sharing of key assets. Based on the acclaimed Cyber-Ark Inter-Business Vault infrastructure, the service allows the creation of an instant Wide Area Network (WAN) for connecting enterprises to their partners, customers, and sub-contractors over the Internet.

It means that remote internal departments, or organisations working in partnership and sharing core data assets, can work together as if they were connected to a discrete and secure WAN, without the need to create a direct physical connection.

The ITC managed secure document service encompasses the deployment, monitoring and management of a dedicated Vault for secure document storage, including:

• Securing company data in a secure Vault
• Creating secure and segregated areas, known as Safes, within the Vault to restrict access only to authorised individuals
• Auditing trails for all user activity
• Monitoring and reporting on access and activity
• Storing all documents in a resilient, highly available, load balanced environment

Key Features

• End-to-End Encryption - Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
• Internet-Ready Storage - Built-in Firewall, VPN, Access Control, and Authentication Layers handle all Internet-related security risks
• Patchless Security Architecture - Server-logic and interface are hidden within the perimeter of the partners’ or customers’ network, leaving no hackable code open to the Internet
• Local Caching - Smart local caching is handled locally for each user or partner by the Vault Connector
• End-to-End Compression - Data is fully compressed from end-to-end at the file level, keeping data traffic size to a minimum and reducing bandwidth usage

Strategic Business Benefits

• Data Compliance to Regulatory Requirements - An unmatched level of security, ensuring non-repudiation, authenticity and privacy, as well as logging and auditing for regulatory compliance such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, PCI and Basel II
• Seamless World-Wide Connectivity - Maintains the highest level of sensitive data security without compromising the internal network
• Enterprise Class Solution – Seamlessly integrates with enterprise systems and IT infrastructure to reduce total cost of ownership
• Quick Implementation - A broad choice of interfaces allows quick implementation across a large number of customers and partners, even with different and complex IT environments, assuring a faster return of investment

The service is part of ITC’s complete, end-to-end managed security solution, and can form part of a full, enterprise-wide managed security policy and deployment.
