Virtualizing Information Security
As corporations strive for advantage, they push the end points of their businesses throughout the globe. To individuals and groups with the expertise and low cost. To people working across time and space, operating within a virtual world. Their lifeblood is information, data, and intellectual property. They consume it and they create it. They use it when and where they need it. They share it. But what safeguards are in place to protect this information from spreading beyond its legitimate points of use?

Fortressware provides anyone working anywhere, alone or with coworkers, with the means to work on content within a protective bubble - following policies defined in advance. The bubble, referred to in Fortressware as the distributed virtual workspace, expands and contracts as individuals join or leave a project or assignment. What does not leave is the precious information assets accessed, used, and created. While in the virtual workspace, personnel freely share and distribute information to each other. They use all of the applications they normally use - without modification. They follow the same work processes.

The difference is what happens behind the scenes. Information is encrypted at all times while moving to and from desktops, and while residing on desktops, whether they are networked or not. As files are opened and data is accessed at these end points, the sensitive content is decrypted automatically and transparently to the user. User behaviors that would result in a breach of sensitive content are detected and blocked.

Fortressware ensures that:

  • Access to outside resources from within a virtual workspace is not permitted unless specifically allowed.
  • Actions that would result in information "leaking" from a virtual workspace are not permitted unless specifically allowed.
  • Monitor the access and use of confidential information
Any of the following actions can be blocked depending on how a security policy is defined using Fortressware:
