Tata Steel Europe is Europe’s second largest steel manufacturer. Until now, home office staff, salespeople and IT staff on the road have used a token-based two-factor authentication method to gain remote access to internal company data and services. However, this method was costly: the hardware tokens had to be replaced every three years, which created a great deal of work in terms of registration, shipping and administration. Tata Steel Europe decided to switch to the tokenless two-factor authentication method SecurAccess. Currently, 6,500 employees receive their passcode via realtime and pre-loaded SMS or e-mail.
London (UK): Varonis, the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, today detailed how it has helped AXA Wealth identify and control its data permissions. The financial services company has been able to simplify its network sharing system with Varonis DatAdvantage, gaining clear visibility into every file opened, created, modified and deleted by every user accessing its file servers. Using DataPrivilege it has introduced an automated permissions process where its users can request access to a group, and the data owners are automatically involved in the decision to either grant or revoke access without IT intervention.
We all know the demands that executives have to always be available, to be able to access and share corporate data at any time with their staff and other stakeholders, and being on the road doesn’t alter this to any degree. Executives demand the ability to use mobile devices to continue to run the business. The challenge is not simply how to keep these devices and the data stored on the devices safe, but how to keep the data secure as it moves and is communicated across and through these devices. I was recently disembarking a flight, when the CFO I was sitting next to had to run back on the plane to retrieve her corporate iPad, which she had inadvertently left in the seat pocket. Most seasoned travelers have likely experienced a similar feeling of despair as they try to recapture their device that holds all the sensitive data.
