New survey from Lieberman Software reveals 64% of IT staff believe their outsourcers also invent work for profit

“Actions speak louder than words” -- Grant Taylor, Cryptzone UK VP

 Recent reports that Glasgow Council is writing to more than 37,000 businesses and people, notifying them of the loss of their data – including business and personal bank details – on two laptops stolen from the council’s office last month, shows that ICO penalties are failing to hit home in the public sector, says Cryptzone.

 According to Grant Taylor, UK Vice President of the European threat mitigation specialist, the data held on the laptops was not encrypted, yet it also included the bank account details of more than 6,000 people and 10,000 companies.

Tufin Technologies, the leading provider of Security Policy Management, today published an interview it had with the UK Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, during London’s Infosecurity Europe last month. In it, the thorny subject of compliance is discussed with Mr Graham revealing he believes compliance is not just about preventing data loss but also demonstrating respect for customers. He argues that, if you don’t care about your customers, you’re going to lose business very fast.

 Talking to Micheal Hamelin, Chief Security Architect for Tufin, Mr Graham warns, “If you don’t show respect, then you’re going to trash your brand very quickly and there’s a whole range of regulators out there to get you. Here in the UK I can levy penalties of up to £500K if you get things spectacularly wrong. I’m not suggesting it’s the first concern, but it should make the CEO or Financial Director sit up and take notice.”

Varonis Systems Inc. (http://www.varonis.com), the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, announced today the launch of Varonis DatAnywhere, which extends the usability of corporate file sharing infrastructure to enable traditional file servers and NAS devices to behave like cloud-based file synchronization services (e.g. Dropbox, Google drive). Users will have the same collaboration experience that cloud services provide, but organizations will not actually have to move data into the cloud, nor will they need to manage an additional user directory, or manage a different set of permissions. DatAnywhere automatically and securely syncs files from corporate file shares to and from remote employee laptops and devices, authenticates with corporate directory services and gives employees the ability to securely share files with co-workers and external business partners.

Lieberman Software announced today that it is now offering extensive multilingual support for the web interface of its flagship privileged identity management solution, Enterprise Random Password Manager™ (ERPM).

The ERPM interface now provides native support for Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Arabic and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Lieberman Software also provides easily updated open resource files for additional language support. This technology extends support to languages not natively included in ERPM.
