WikiLeaks Scandal prompts SecureVAD Announcement

Dec. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- READING, UK - (December 2, 2010) – SecureVAD, the EMEA distributor for STEALTHbits Technologies, announces the release of Version 2.0 of the StealthAUDIT Management Platform.

Version 2.0 of the StealthAUDIT Management Platform for Data Governance boasts powerful new features geared towards addressing data loss prevention and permissions management. The latest SMP offering can prevent internal leaks such as the recent security breach of 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables and enables organizations to address critical security risks and avoid global-scale PR disasters such as the WikiLeaks incident. In short, the platform arms administrators with comprehensive and scalable user activity monitoring, security permissions and assessment tools, advanced auditing, reporting and resolution features.

Administrators can now pinpoint who has and is using access to files, when they are accessing them, how they received permissions, where shares are vulnerable, and much more. In addition, tighter integration with common storage devices such as NetApp Storage Controllers and Windows File Systems, advanced "stale" data reduction techniques, and a streamlined architectural approach for high-volume environments, uniquely position SMP to identify and resolve critical security issues in any organization.

"The recent WikiLeaks scandal has made companies realize just how vulnerable their data is. Many organizations spend the majority of their security resources on protecting their perimeter, often overlooking the most prolific threat: insiders like the one that caused the recent government leak. Every organization has individuals that have access to data they shouldn't have access to. Our customers have been leveraging SMP for years to discover and address those kinds of security issues. We've dedicated over a year to Version 2.0, and this release could not be more timely. SMP now goes even further to help our customers understand the 'Who? What? Where? and When?' across their most critical data," said Ian Davin, CEO, SecureVAD.

SMP spans the entire Microsoft computing environment -- from Active Directory and the File System to Exchange, SharePoint, and beyond. Detailed data collection combined with built-in business intelligence make SMP ideal for detecting and locking down data access vulnerabilities.
