industry-first integration of endpoint data encryption with popular
endpoint management platform helps global enterprises prevent data breaches
LAS VEGAS and SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- ManageFusion
-- RSA Conference -- CREDANT Technologies, the market leader in endpoint
data encryption solutions, today announced the integration of its CREDANT
Mobile Guardian solution with Symantec's Altiris endpoint management
platform. For the first time ever, IT administrators can use the Altiris
management console to encrypt, audit, and protect the data residing on
enterprise endpoints. The integration of CREDANT encryption with Symantec
endpoint management solutions allows IT administrators to seamlessly deploy
and manage data protection and encryption enterprise-wide, to establish and
change encryption policies, and to generate end user reports directly from
the Altiris management console.
This partnership between CREDANT and Symantec and the integration of
CREDANT encryption with the Altiris management console addresses the
growing business imperative to protect sensitive data residing on PCs,
laptops, removable media and smartphones. Additionally, it further
simplifies the control of critical data by providing management and
security within a single environment. CREDANT engineered its endpoint data
security solution to "protect what matters" while ensuring that the
security does not interfere with operational processes and is totally
transparent to the end user.
The integration will also enable companies to quickly locate
unprotected corporate notebook computers and automate the deployment and
provisioning of encryption through a single management console. This helps
protect vulnerable endpoints, safely encrypts lost or stolen data, and
secures enterprise desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and removable
media, from emerging threats, both external and internal.
"The need for enterprises to more easily secure corporate and customer
data is front and center for companies today, and new regulations demand
wide scale and auditable compliance," said Bob Heard, CEO of CREDANT
Technologies. "Now that CREDANT Mobile Guardian is integrated with
Symantec's Altiris endpoint management platform, customers can easily
manage endpoint encryption without deploying yet another management
console," he added. "This solution fits the needs of large, dispersed
enterprises, whose IT administrators can rely on Altiris technology to help
automate the deployment of data protection to thousands of desktops and
notebook computers without changing patch management, application
deployment, or any other element of their endpoint management process."
CREDANT leveraged the Altiris Developer Program and the open Altiris
architecture to develop this integration. Symantec's Altiris solutions
offer IT lifecycle automation solutions designed to help IT organizations
manage, secure and support IT assets while promoting confidence in IT
service delivery. Symantec solutions help reduce enterprise costs of
owning, operating, securing and supporting technology by automating
management tasks.
