Todo En La Nube S De Rl De Cv (HQ)

Todo En La Nube, a Mexican security products and services business, uses PKWARE to encrypt and redact credit card and personal data and to protect email sent to partners and customers. It reports saving 75 to 90 percent of the time manual protection required, with data security up 50 to 75 percent. Microsoft E5 DLP is the compliance driver it names, and PKWARE extends that rather than replacing it.

Background

This case study of TODO EN LA NUBE S DE RL DE CV (HQ) is based on a December 2020 survey of PKWARE customers by TechValidate, a third-party research service.

The study is a December 2020 TechValidate survey. What separates this one from the enterprise studies is the size of the organization. A small business has no security team to absorb manual work, so the time figures here describe capacity rather than efficiency: the hours saved are hours that were not available in the first place.

Challenges

The cybersecurity needs that most influenced their decision to use PKWARE solutions:

• Viruses / spyware
• Ransomware
• Phishing / impersonation

The compliance measures that most influenced their decision to use PKWARE solutions:

• Microsoft E5 DLP

Malware, ransomware and phishing are listed together, and all three arrive at the same place. Each is a route to data the attacker was never supposed to reach, so the question that follows any of them is what that data was worth in the state it was held in. Encryption and redaction answer that question in advance, because an attacker who reaches protected data reaches nothing that can be used or sold.

Use Cases

The following data types are protected with PKWARE:

• Credit card and financial information
• Personal data (SSNs, race, religion, minors, etc.)

Data uncovered by PKWARE’s data discovery is protected with:

• Encrypting
• Redacting

PKWARE functionality for data security is used with these additional use cases:

• Secure email with partners and customers
• DLP enhancement

DLP enhancement is the more interesting entry in this list. Data loss prevention decides whether to allow a transfer, and that decision is only as good as its knowledge of what the file contains. Discovery and classification supply the knowledge, so DLP moves from matching patterns to acting on identified content. The practical effect is fewer false positives and fewer gaps between them, which is what determines whether people work with the control or around it.

Our Approach

This customer saved 75 – 90% of time by moving from manually applied protection to PKWARE’s automated discovery and protection solution.

Results

The company experienced these immediate benefits following the deployment of PKWARE:

• Located and classified sensitive data
• Increased their data security by 50 – 75% since implementing PKWARE technology
• Saved 75 – 90% of time by moving from manually applied protection to PKWARE’s automated discovery and protection solution

Secure email is where this shows up day to day. Attachments that are zipped and encrypted automatically remove the step that depends on someone remembering, and for an organization of this size a single automation of that kind removes an entire class of exposure without adding a process anyone has to follow or police.

There is a second obligation in this profile that is easy to pass over. A security products and services business holds its own clients’ data as well as its own, so the standard it works to is the one its customers are buying from it. Protection applied consistently is part of the offering rather than an overhead against it.
