Dell's Secure Lifecycle to Ensure Business Data Protection for Enterprises

ROUND ROCK, TEXAS: Dell Inc. announces the release of Dell Data Protection, Secure Lifecycle to protect critical business data at every existing phase from any part of the world. It aims to protect the data as it moves across various devices, safeguarding files on external storage, public cloud services, as well as on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets via a secure file container.

The combination of data encryption, file access monitoring, DLP (data leakage prevention) and DRM (Digital Rights Management) provides data protection via a single pane. Designed with heightened level of encryption, this solution certainly matches the modern work scenario. Secure Lifecycle also helps organizations in keeping a track of their business information on its usage, leakage or misplacement. Itgives visibility into files that get shared, reducing the time taken to uncover violations.

Secure Lifecycle’s comprehensive digital rights functionality allows setting individual rights for different users viewing the same document. This provides the company not only the special privilege of managing who can read, edit, print or share data but also helps set embargoes and expiry times over when the data are permissible to view.

Transparent encryption ensures encryption of all Word, Excel and PowerPoint files while in motion and in use, securing shared data across common collaborative tools. Secure Lifecycle’s easy access and download augments manageability for IT departments and its office plug-ins helps run with Microsoft Office 2010 and upward, improving collaboration with colleagues outside an organization.

“In the modern work environment, data travel between people and devices. Securing and encrypting these data, not just at rest, but in motion and in use, has become critical to maintaining integrity and control,” says Brett Hansen, Vice President, Dell Endpoint Data Security and Management. “Dell Data Protection | Secure Lifecycle protects data at all stages of the lifecycle and provides the visibility and confidence for organizations to embrace the mobile workforce—securely.”
