BitArmor Launches New Managed Encryption Software Service
BitArmor offers integrated e-mail, USB and disk encryption solution delivered from the cloud
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 18 -- BitArmor, a leading provider of information-centric encryption software, today announced the availability of BitArmor DataControl 4.0, which includes delivery of encryption software as a managed service. The new service is the industry's first integrated USB, e-mail and full disk encryption solution delivered from the cloud. BitArmor Managed Encryption is well suited for mid-market businesses, saving them time, money and deployment headaches while providing military-grade encryption to prevent data breaches and comply with state and federal data privacy regulations.
-- Easy to afford - Saves tens of thousands of dollars
-- Easy to deploy - Leverages existing infrastructure, no additional hardware required
-- Easy to use - Encryption is completely transparent to users
-- Easy to manage - Enterprise class security without the hassles
"A significant number of PCs and media devices carrying business-critical data aren't properly encrypted, and this state of affairs is certain to cause disasters for enterprises," said John Girard, VP and distinguished analyst in Gartner's Info Security and Privacy Research Center. "Statistical odds suggest that this will happen to virtually every organization, whether small, midsize or large."
Unlike large corporations, mid-market businesses do not always have the budget, IT resources or infrastructure in place to protect their data with enterprise-class security strategies and technologies. Through BitArmor's SaaS (Security as a Service) delivery model, all customers can benefit from the advantage of commercial-grade, enterprise-class encryption and affordable data security.
"A.I.M. Mutual is committed to setting the standard in service excellence for our customers, which includes being on the forefront of addressing key data protection issues like the new Massachusetts's Privacy Law," said Ray Pata, Manager Systems and Programming of A.I.M. Mutual Insurance Companies, one of the top providers of workers compensation in Massachusetts and an "A" rated financial institution by AM Best Company. "BitArmor Managed Encryption is a great security model as it provides very strong but highly affordable encryption so A.I.M. Mutual can continue to protect our key assets in a fiscally responsible manner."
"Our customers operating in a wide range of highly regulated industries need encryption as part of their overall defense strategy, but mid-sized companies don't always have the resources needed to manage an enterprise deployment," said Carl Kunzmann, Managing Partner of Wulf Consulting, an IT provider that specializes in managed solutions for mid-market businesses and is now offering BitArmor Managed Encryption to its clients. "A great example is Ursuline Senior Services, subcontractor to Pennsylvania's Allegheny County Area Agency on Aging, which will use BitArmor Managed Encryption to provide an additional level of security and assurance that the confidential healthcare and financial data of the 5,000+ senior citizens it serves will not be compromised."
As the inventor of patented Smart Tag(TM) technology, a revolutionary approach to data encryption that protects data wherever it goes, BitArmor is recognized for its ability to deliver strategic solutions for the industry's most pressing data protection problems, including the industry's only No-Breach Guarantee.
BitArmor Managed Encryption's latest enhancements solve the unique data protection challenges of the small to medium enterprise market by providing military-grade encryption for laptops, USB devices and email attachments, in a simple-to-manage and affordable subscription-based SaaS model. This is in stark contrast to data encryption solutions offered by many vendors that are cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses because they require investments in disparate technologies, expert IT security resources, and dedicated servers.
New SaaS features with BitArmor Managed Encryption include:
-- Highest Grade of Encryption: Uses military-grade encryption to safeguard sensitive data;
-- Complete Control of Sensitive Data: Ensures customers' sensitive data never enters the cloud by performing encryption processing functions on the client side;
-- Integrated Managed Encryption: Offers a single integrated managed disk, USB and e-mail encryption solution that is easy to use and completely transparent to end-users;
-- High Availability: Guarantees the highest level of availability with multiple redundant servers and offline capabilities that provide access to encrypted data in the event of a network outage;
-- Reporting for Compliance: Supports regulatory requirements with simple-to-use reporting capabilities;
-- Low Total Cost of Ownership: Allows administrators to easily deploy the solution within hours and securely manage users from a single console - without costly infrastructure investments or prior encryption and key management experience.
"Today's businesses are faced with the seemingly impossible task of meeting data security requirements while managing IT costs," said BitArmor CEO Patrick McGregor. "BitArmor continues to deliver the necessary innovations, like SaaS-based encryption, so that all companies can afford to protect their critical data without sacrificing business growth. BitArmor provides consistent value even as regulations and impending risk threats evolve."
