As organizations continue to invest in information security technologies, new and more effective threats continue to put pressure on even the most advanced IT organization.

Securing critical assets is a strategy by which organizations execute against a multifaceted security strategy that focuses not only on the perimeter, but on an organization’s most critical asset – its information.

• Data Discovery and Classification – Effective data discovery and classification is not a choice in today’s large and diverse corporate enterprise. It’s a mandate required by company policy, client needs and even regulatory and compliance policies, including HIPAA, PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley and others. As such, sensitive data must be tracked, classified, cataloged and managed across the plethora of locations – from portable data storage devices to file servers, local drives and remote devices, including laptops and handheld units. UDT works closely with partners and clients to implement comprehensive solutions to ensure data discovery and classification is effectively and seamlessly interwoven to meet the organization’s data needs, security measures and regulatory requirements.

 

• Authenticate and Access Management – Who’s on your network? Who’s trying to get in? Effectively authenticating and controlling access management is a critical step in preventing corporate espionage, data theft, and other intrusions that can result in loss of proprietary data or other critical information that may open your business to legal action.

 

• Encryption and Key Management – If data, files or other content falls into the wrong hands, encryption may be the last-ditched effort to prevent others from actually seeing or acting upon those files. It’s not enough to encrypt files. Key management is vital to securing accessibility.

 

• Digital Rights Management (DRM) – Among many companies, intellectual property is among the most important assets held. Digital rights management and intellectual property protection ensure companies can maximize those assets. Content management solutions enable authorized individuals to manage content simply, effectively and securely.

 

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) – Centralizing the storage of events and data logs created on the network is one step in the process of tracking network activities. Interpreting and analyzing that data collected advances the process, providing information on trends and events that later can be reported and mined for forensics and other instances – whether malicious or related to a system failure.
