RSA Conference 2006
Stamford, CT, February 16, 2006 -- Protegrity Corporation, a leading provider of data security management solutions, today unveils Defiance™ 4.0 at RSA Conference 2006. Defiance 4.0 is the first integrated data and application security suite that protects sensitive data from acquisition to deletion.
Defiance 4.0, consisting of Defiance TMS 4.0, Defiance DPS 4.0, and Defiance Enterprise 4.0, protects data at the application, database, file, and storage levels. With Defiance 4.0 organizations can secure and control sensitive data throughout the enterprise and across a wide range of computing platforms..
New features of Defiance 4.0 include:
Intelligent Escalation™ -- Defiance TMS recognizes evolving application threats and automatically triggers heightened levels of application protection across the enterprise.
Centralized management -- Defiance™ 4.0 provides the security officer with common, consistent control and enforcement of security policy
Centralized enterprise reporting and audit -- Defiance Enterprise delivers enterprise-wide, consolidated compliance reporting, audit logs, and operational alerts;
Consistent and intuitive, role-based user interface minimizes the learning curve; and
Integrated data & application security, from discovery & assessment through secure operations, audit & analysis
With Defiance 4.0, Protegrity’s security software suite expands its leading functionality to a broad range of operational platforms, including unique support for Teradata and IBM mainframe z/OS environments.
“As legislative and industry mandates become more rigorous and ubiquitous, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for our customers to comply with them,” said Jeannine Bartlett, vice president of product management and strategy at Protegrity. “Defiance 4.0 is a major step along a well laid-out plan to streamline the deployment and management of our suite of best-in-class solutions, to help customers significantly strengthen their security and minimize their risk from the threats that can compromise a company’s sensitive data.”
The need to protect business and consumer information by strengthening the security of sensitive data has never been greater. A recent survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute, LLC, showed that 86% of security breaches involved the loss or theft of customer or consumer information, while 14% involved employee, student, medical and taxpayer data.
According to Jon Oltsik, Senior Analyst, ESG, “Data protection is good business. Market drivers such as regulations, corporate image, human factor and vulnerability of applications are providing organizations with sound justification to increase data protection. Most data theft attempts would fail if stored information was encrypted and encryption keys sufficiently protected. A software protection suite, defending against threats to applications and data-at-rest, spanning the enterprise, is the best way to secure an organization’s information assets.”
