Information Security Matters!

Pros

  • Requires authorized passwords and logins from end users.
  • Utilizes voiceprint recognition to validate users.
  • Allows for a one time login from end users working remotely away from their desks.

Cons

  • The prompts for one time logins are rather lengthy and it takes around five minutes to go through all of the authentication required. I believe this could be improved upon.

Return on Investment

  • It has enabled us to maintain privacy which has enhanced our highly rated brand standard. While basically it is a team member specific, behind the scenes program that protects systems from being used by unauthorized individuals, it contributes to the overall integrity of the organization which results in increased market share and return on investment for shareholders.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

You would think "no system is 100% secure" when a corporate laptop goes missing and that is a big problem. Pointsec's full disk encryption solution ensures your information isn't exposed.

Pros

  • The product works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
  • The management of Pointsec has really become very simple and centralized for all IT to handle with ease.
  • Preboot encryption keys in the form of a password, by inserting a USB drive containing the key and/or using a one-time password generating device such as an RSA token.

Return on Investment

  • Decreasing vulnerability to attack is the key, it's the game to play and Pointsec plays it very well.
  • Key management systems and the various recovery options are very well thought out.
  • Full disk encryption vs. file or folder encryption system. With FDE data is encrypted automatically when it's stored on the hard disk making this the best solution.
