CREDANT Wrote the Book on Data Protection for Universities

When it comes to data protection, universities and other higher educational institutions have unique needs. Schools are information-intensive by their very nature,but with the advent of increasingly complex network environments, the amount of information being created, stored and shared has rapidly expanded. In addition, students and faculty take full advantage of today’s mobile devices, accessing and storing data in PCs and laptops, as well as notebooks, PDAs, USB thumb drives, smartphones and other mobile devices.

All this information must be protected wherever it resides. That’s why many of today’s universities are using CREDANT Mobile Guardian (CMG) for endpoint data protection. With CMG, these institutions can develop flexible, effective data encryption and network security solutions that include the following key capabilities:

• Students’ personal and academic information is accessible only by those authorized to access it
• Data stored on removable media such as a USB drive is fully encrypted in case the device is lost or stolen
• Data stored on laptops or smartphones is also protected, ensuring data security if the device is lost or stolen
• If required by compliance laws, organizations can prove the data was protected using CMG encryption records and audit trails

A Comprehensive Solution for Today’s Institutions

• Ensure data security without the risk of users placing data in areas that are not encrypted
• Provide confidentiality, privacy and auditing of data residing on any endpoint
• Protect sensitive data from unwarranted access, thus reducing risk of internal breaches
