Lately, there have been many studies and reports regarding the lack of security in outsourced development and testing sites. Very recently the Ponemon Institute released a report entitled “Data Security in Development & Testing,” which is available at Haymarket Media Group. From these reports, it seems like companies are becoming more and more afraid to risk utilizing actual customer data when outsourcing their work. Companies that fear exposing customer data to contractors and other outsourced workers are losing out on the benefits of working with actual data.
It is unfortunate to keep reading these accounts, especially when Fortressware has been helping companies in this situation for years. Because of Fortressware, many companies have been able to start testing their work at remote locations using real customer data without the fear of losing that information to theft or incompetence. With the monitor and logging feature, they also can continue to stay compliant.
Using Fortressware, all sensitive material will be encrypted when it is created, stored, or transferred to anywhere inside or outside of the organization. Only authorized people can decrypt the information. When it is decrypted for use, Fortressware ensures the decrypted data and all material created from it will not be copied, uploaded, printed, or in any propagated outside of Fortressware’s controlled space. The greatest part is that employees can work on their data using the same tools they always have, all without impeding productivity.
Fortressware provides a productive solution to securely lock down any outsourced site and ensure complete compliance with the company’s security policy wherever the sites are. Take a look at the demo videos on the website where you can see Fortressware at work.
