ATOS :Atos expands Data Loss Prevention offering with Digital Guardian
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Citing continued growth with over 30,000 users worldwide using the joint
solution
Paris, 3 June 2016 - Through its technology brand Bull, Atos today announced
that its Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Service, in partnership with Digital
Guardian, continues to see strong market adoption and customer growth since the
launch of the service one year ago. Awareness of the need for data protection is
at an all-time high due to the wide visibility of data breaches in the press and
the evolving threat landscape.
Atos is enhancing its DLP offering with Digital Guardian's recently acquired
Code Green Network-DLP technology. To help customers limit the risks of data
loss anywhere on their estate, Atos has expanded its DLP service to cover
endpoints, servers and now networks. The service is unique in that it protects
corporations' sensitive data from both unauthorized insider activity and
external threats such as advanced malware using a single security solution. This
functionality consolidates two important security offerings into one unified
solution. The DLP service can be deployed as a fully managed cloud service or
on-premise as part of a system integration program including options that are
simple to deploy and offer rapid ROI.
"A shortage of IT security professionals means many organisations do not have
the internal know-how and resources to put in place data protection programs,"
said Bob Tarzey, Analyst and Director at Quocirca. "Outsourcing data security
management to an experienced third party, which can deploy and manage the
supporting security technology, should lead to rapid improvements in data
protection without having to find and retain the necessary talent."
The solution has been implemented successfully for more than 30,000 users across
a number of target verticals including Financial Services and Manufacturing. In
addition, momentum and strong interest continues across diverse markets
including Healthcare, Defense, Government, Media and Banking.
In addition to the increasing number of prominent data breaches impacting
corporations, there are new regulatory requirements driving customer demand for
the Data Loss Prevention Service:
* Regulatory Mandates
* EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation designed to
strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the European
Union.
* The Netherlands "Bill on Notification of data leaks," which went into effect
on January 1, 2016, imposes an obligation on data controllers in the
Netherlands to notify the Dutch Data Protection Authority and affected
individuals if there has been a data breach while significantly increasing
fines for violations of the Dutch Data Protection Act.
"Regulatory mandates that focus on higher data protection requirements and
increased transparency and communication for breach disclosures result in
companies taking a much closer look at their existing Data Loss Prevention
programs," said Chris Moret, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Atos. "The Data
Loss Prevention Service that Atos offers meets customers' regulatory compliance
needs while securing their most sensitive data anywhere that data resides. With
our cloud-based service, corporations can expect the highest level of data
protection with the fastest time to value."
Atos has over 4500 security professionals worldwide, who manage 100 million
identities every day; monitor 2 million events every hour in Atos Security
Operational Centers; and through Worldline, secure 5 billion transactions each
year. The Atos security portfolio covers the complete range of services from
mobile security, fraud management through to secure innovation platforms and
trusted cloud services. Atos recently unveiled its Cyber Security vision in a
dedicated campaign: "Ready for Anything."
