Collavate DLP Offers Security to Encompass all Levels of G Suite

August 16, 2017 straightlinepr Leave a comment

Affordable Data Loss Prevention Solutions for Google Drive Tools Now Available

San Jose, CA, August 16, 2017 – According to Gartner CISO, a security and risk assessment organization, data loss prevention is a top priority of businesses today. As corporate data has an increasingly high risk of being targeted and breached, Collavate DLP (Data Loss Prevention) has stepped up to offer Google Drive security protection for all Google Drive users.

“With online communication more prevalent than ever and corporate applications being so popular, it is imperative to keep the information within the applications from getting into the wrong hands,” stated a Collavate DLP representative. “Google Drive security has been limited and costly in the past because it was only available for the more expensive G Suite Enterprise. We are pleased to introduce Collavate DLP which can be used with G Suite Basic and G Suite Business as well.”

Google Drive is a popular tool that many businesses use for real-time collaboration and data storage. However, since Drive lacks data loss prevention tools, the breach of information can easily devastate a business.

Until now, Google Drive users have been forced to go with the elite, most expensive collaboration package (G Suite Enterprise) if they wished to invoke Google Drive security measures. Collavate DLP now makes it possible to have data loss prevention services with any Google Drive platform, including G Suite Basic and G Suite Business.

It is estimated that the cost of cybercrime worldwide will top two trillion dollars by 2019, triple the estimated cost reported in 2015. Gartner CISO has identified risks imposed by point-of-sale devices, flash drive, mobile devices, file servers, databases, PCs and virtual servers. Potential access points include wirelines, wireless devices, VPNs and other similar avenues. Source codes, documents of product design, financial documents, customer data and other top-security data are all at risk of being breached.

It is increasingly imperative to have Google Drive security in place because the use of the collaboration tool often includes storage of critical information such as medical records, social security numbers, and credit card information. In many cases, just one breach may cripple a company. Furthermore, upstanding businesses desire to be trustworthy with their employee and customer information.

Collavate DLP provides security detection in real-time, a key feature. The program also predefines keywords in files in order to monitor activity on viewing trends, another important measure. Rule setting and regular expressions are also defined for even stronger security.

All Google Drive suite editions, even SMB’s, are eligible to take advantage of Collavate DLP. Introducing Collavate DLP to the market serves as a welcome relief to collaborators who are aware of the the importance of cybersecurity.

McKinsey Consultant Turned Into Cyber Security Keynote Speaker Training Top UK CEOs on Cybersecurity

August 1, 2017 staronepr Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street, partnering with Terrapinn Training in 3-Day Masterclass Cybersecurity to bring key insights for CEOs and board members on cyber security.

London, UK — Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street, is addressing senior executives from the United Kingdom and Europe at 3-Day Masterclass Cybersecurity organized by Terrapinn Training. Perez is a well-known international futurist and keynote speaker who currently offers Cybersecurity Due Diligence and Awareness Training services for Fortune 500 firms and private equity groups.

As information technology becomes ever more complex and Internet usage increasingly widespread, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important and business-critical field. Unfortunately, most organizations are not prepared to handle cybersecurity threats. In fact, 66% of IT and security professionals say that their firms are unprepared to recover from a cyberattack. A key example of this unpreparedness is the fact that many of the companies impacted by the recent WannaCry attack didn’t install critical updates into their Windows infrastructure that had been released by Microsoft back in March.

Perez’s workshops bring CEOs, board members and top executives up to speed on the most recent and battle-tested approaches to protect their companies’ valuable information and intellectual property from prying eyes of hackers and competitors, and leverage their cyber success in both cultivating stronger relationships with current and new clients and safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders, partners and employees.

Perez, author of Knightmare on Wall Street and The Speed Traders, is a recognized futurist, keynote speaker and director of programs targeted at board members, chief executive officers and senior executives looking for new ways to gain and maintain a competitive business advantage.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS
• “The team that Edgar has assembled is top-notch. There are no words to express our satisfaction with your high-quality delivery.” Member of the Board of Directors
• “After working with a number of vendors, we found your team to be in a qualitatively different level. By that I speak to your deep expertise and exemplary professionalism.” Divisional Chief Information Officer
• “Thanks for the great work training our employees. You really made a difference!” Global Chief Information Security Officer
• “The program provides a comprehensive approach for any organization to lead in cybersecurity readiness.” IT Security Coordinator

SPEAKER’S KEYNOTE TOPICS
• The Importance of the Cybersecurity Framework for Directors and CEOs
An email embedded with malware. Security systems hacked by thieves. Credit card numbers stolen from store purchases. There’s certainly no shortage of examples when it comes to data security breaches and the havoc they wreak on business. No wonder then that nearly a third of CEOs in KPMG’s latest global survey identified cyber security as the issue having the biggest impact on their companies today. Every organization should apply a Cybersecurity Framework for analyzing cyber security, and ideally it should be integrated into an organization’s existing enterprise risk framework. The key is making it part of the mainstream of risk management within an organization. The most innovative companies today have recognized that cyber security is a customer experience and revenue opportunity, not just a risk that needs to be managed. Mr. Perez will explain why this must done across the entire organization and why the CEO and Board of Directors have the most important role to play.

• Finance in the New Global Economy
Until quite recently, globalization was seen as a one-way street. Multinationals, which led the charge four decades or so ago into growing global markets, were its ambassadors, and American and European workers, whose wages and upward mobility were flattened, were feeling left out. The core idea was that globalization, technological innovation and unfettered free trade would erase historical and geographic boundaries, making the world ever more economically interconnected and alike. Developed economies would come under more and more competitive pressure from eager upstart nations. Now we are entering a new age of volatility. Financiers will become less important, manufacturers more so. Blue collar jobs will go high tech. Robots will replace Chinese workers. Mr. Perez will discuss why finance stands now in front of its biggest transformation triggered not by any of the financial conglomerates that dominate the world today but by obscure startups that could be working already in garages in Silicon Valley, Shanghai, Kiev or Delhi.

• The Biggest Risks for Financial Markets
Constant regulatory changes and technological evolution have transformed the financial landscape so profoundly since the advent of the first electronic networks in the early 1970s. Regulators around the world are now in a race to respond to the evolution of technology in financial markets and prevent its operational challenges from becoming the biggest risk for financial markets. However, when considering technology and the cyber landscape, errors are bound to happen. Financial services firms are expected to have deployed the most sophisticated defense systems against cyberattacks. Trading firms are expected to have controls in place and invest in the technology to keep up to date. Most companies would realize the need of these investments and honestly attempt to implement them, but their IT departments would soon hit a wall, because of direct involvement from senior management and boards of directors. Compliance actions against those who missed their importance will go a long way toward restoring investor confidence and limiting the impact of the biggest risk for financial markets.

• Social Engineering: The “Weakest Human Link” in Cybersecurity
Social engineering involves tricking your employees into breaching security protocols or giving away information, most often over the telephone or via email. Social engineering exploits human weaknesses rather than technology, preying upon people’s propensity towards trust in particular. Often, these exploits are used to gather information to support a more targeted cyberattack, with the initial forays based on the premise of ‘little and often’ so as not to cause concern. Employees at all levels, including senior executives, are vulnerable. Mr. Perez will explain why by improving employee awareness and introducing simple technical measures, organizations can protect themselves against social engineering techniques and the risk of a cyberattack and its potential impact on business, customers and data.

• Establishing or Improving a Cybersecurity Program
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which was drafted by the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), comprises leading practices from various standards bodies that have proved to be successful when implemented, and it also may deliver regulatory and legal advantages that extend well beyond improved cybersecurity for organizations that adopt it early. Its adoption may prove advantageous for businesses across virtually all industries. Mr. Perez will explain why a proper Cybersecurity Program will build on the analysis of the possible areas of concern, an understanding of the company’s most critical assets, and a thorough review of Information Technology’s policies and procedures when faced with cybercrime.

10 G Suite Security Features to Protect Users Data

July 26, 2017 straightlinepr Leave a comment

There is a reason for G Suite’s growing popularity among business owners. The answer is the security that Google provides for its users.

San Jose, CA, July 26, 2017 – There is a reason for G Suite’s growing popularity among business owners. The answer is the security that Google provides for its users. In this modern age full of advanced technology with constant news of information leaking, Google stays ahead of the curve due to the highly secure, reliable, and compliant environment that it is able to offer. This blog aims to introduce the ten important security benefits that G Suite, a package of cloud-based services for businesses, provides.

1. Password Protection

G Suite provides 2-step verification, a tool that greatly reduced the risk of unauthorized access by asking users for additional proof of identity when signing in. This offers another layer of security for user login by requiring a physical key. They key sends an encrypted signature and works only with the sites that it’s supposed to, which in turn helps to guard against phishing. Additionally, G Suite administrators can easily deploy, monitor, and manage the security keys from within the administrator console without needing to download any software.

2. Spam Detection

G Suite also provides spam detection, adding another layer of security for G Suite users. Gmail achieved 99.9% accuracy in spam detection and block phishing messages due to the advances in machine learning. Less than 0.1% of email in the average Gmail inbox is spam.

3. Malware Detection

Another similar function to spam detection is malware detection. To prevent malware, Google automatically scans every attachment for viruses prior to a user downloading it. In fact, even Gmail checks for viruses in attachments queued for dispatch, which protects Gmail users and the spread of viruses.

4. DKIM/DMARC

Likewise, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is another method that verifies the content of messages are trustworthy, meaning that they were not altered from the moment the message left the initial mail server. An important security component is the phishing prevention that follows DMARC standard by utilizing machine learning. Furthermore, by following the DMARC standard, domain owners can decide how Gmail and other participating email providers handle unauthenticated emails coming from the domain, which protect users’ and organization’s reputation.

5. Single Sign On

G Suite offers a security feature called SSO, or single sign-on, which enables unified access to other enterprise cloud applications. Google’s identity and access management services allows administrators to conveniently manage all user credentials and cloud applications access in one place.

6. Mobile Security

In addition, Google provides mobile device management, another security feature, that continuously monitors systems and alerts users to suspicious device activity. Administrators can enforce mobile policies, encrypt data on devices, lock lost or stolen mobile devices, and remotely wipe devices.

7. Google Vault

Google Vault supports organization’s needs by allowing users to retain, hold, search, and export data. Vault also supports Email messages, Google Hangout, Google Groups, and files in Google Drive and Team Drives. Some usages of Vault include archiving to control how long data is retained before being removed from user’s accounts, legal holds, and searching domain’s data.

8. Advanced Drive Auditing

Advanced Drive auditing and reports is another security feature provided by G Suite. G suite allows administrators to track user actions across multiple spans of Admin Console, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Groups, mobile, and third-party application authorization. For example, if a file containing the word “confidential” is downloaded or shared outside the organization, administrators can be notified.

9. Data Loss Prevention

There is a critical function of G Suite called DLP (data loss prevention) to protect sensitive information within Gmail and Drive. In addition, the setup for DLP is easy due to the provided predefined content detectors. Once the DLP policy is created, Gmail can automatically check all outgoing email for sensitive information and take action to prevent data leakage. Also, DLP for Drive makes it easy for administrators to audit files containing sensitive content and create rules that warn and prevent users from sharing confidential information with external parties.

10. Email Encryption

At last, the tenth security benefit is the Email encryption (S/MIME) function. Google encrypts content as it moves between multiple servers and those of other companies and prevents retroactive decryption of HTTPS sessions by an adversary. Furthermore, every single sent email that the client sends or receives is encrypted while moving between Google’s data centers. By doing this, the messages are safe not only when they move between Google’s servers, but also as they move internally within Google. To further protect users’ privacy, Google doubled its RSA encryption key length to 2048 bits and started changing them every few weeks.

July 12, 2017 straightlinepr Leave a comment

Although G Suite’s popularity has been growing among business owners, many are unaware of the Enterprise edition of G Suite.

San Jose, CA, July 12, 2017 – Although G Suite’s popularity has been growing among business owners, many are unaware of the Enterprise edition of G Suite. In the three G Suite editions Basic, Business, and Enterprise, Enterprise is the premium office suite of Google services. In addition to all of the features that G Suite Business provides, G Suite Enterprise offers advanced security, controls and customization.

To be specific, G Suite Enterprise contains the Messaging functions that include Gmail, Calendar, and contacts. The Enterprise edition also has access to Google Drive, Docs, Hangouts, Domain-wide mail and document search, as well as unified search and assist for content in various G Suite services.

Usage and support wise, G Suite Enterprise allows unlimited number of users to access G Suite and video conferencing. In addition, the users will also have unlimited email, document, and photo storage per user. Some other convenient support services include a 24/7 phone support and priority email support.

Another necessary function that all businesses need is a company brand email address that include custom email address for all users and a company address in Google Sites. Furthermore, G Suite Enterprise is able to provide an ad-free experience. In addition, the Enterprise edition provides migration services, is supported by various browsers, mobile friendly, and there is a convenient mailing lists that can be both admin and user controlled.

However, what truly marks G Suite Enterprise apart from the other editions is its security and business controls. Although both G Suite Business and Enterprise editions provide important functions such as 2-step verification, a security system, the Enterprise edition offers Drive data loss prevention and Gmail data loss prevention. With these functions, businesses can now define rules that protect privacy using Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Available sub-functions include sending an email to super administrators, sending an email to the user who created, edited, or uploaded a file with sensitive content, or blocking sharing of any file with sensitive content.

Another feature unique to G Suite Enterprise edition is Gmail log search in BigQuery. This feature allows businesses to analyze Gmail logs by using advanced custom queries, retain Gmail data for as long as needed, utilize various third-party tools to perform deep analysis, and create custom reporting and dashboards. Also, G Suite Enterprise can set up a third-party archiving solution to archive Gmail journal messages; this function can be extended to comply with email requirements, continue using a third-party archiving solution, and allow user access to archives.

Security key management is also only available in G Suite Enterprise. With this function, the administrator can view and manage the security settings for a particular user in the Google Admin console. Because the Enterprise edition focuses on security, S/MME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encryption for email which adds a layer of security.

With these great, essential benefits that only G Suite Enterprise can provide, it can bring a business numerous advantages in terms of convenience of communication, workflow improvement, and security. If interested, contact Netkiller, a partner of G Suite, for additional assistance and benefits.
