SEARCHINFORM AND CONDYN BRING DATA LEAK PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY TO MARKET
Information security
I company SearchInForm has partnered with Condyn to bring its next generation data leak prevention technology to the South African and African market .
The benefit of the system is based on the principle : one cannot prevent what one doesn ’ t know about . Therefore , it also takes into consideration social media and other communication channels used daily in organisations .
What SearchInform and Condyn are presenting to the market is the means to be able to monitor all communication channels , employee behaviour and control over technology resources and devices .
Businesses can track how communication equipment and devices are used , even if these are used outside the business .
One of the system ’ s distinguishing features is the architectural design . It prevents anything from being leaked , whether it is encrypted or not .
The system is not linked to the Internet and even updates are done in a secure manner without opening any links into the Internet . The system is also PCI compliant which is extremely important .
The entire design is of value to any organisation , whether from an information security perspective or even an operational point of view .
The information gathered can increase productivity , structuring and much more in any organisation big or small .
“ It can help with regards to KPI and KPA management , how much time is being spent on critical business operations and how much is being wasted ,” said Jorina van Rensburg , Managing Director of Condyn .
