Security with FileSure Defend

Our innovative technology that catches every file operation—whether done by a user or a program—gives you a powerful and versatile approach to data security.

Rather than relying on signatures (which can be outwitted by encryption), FileSure works within the file system itself, allowing only the access you permit and auditing every action or attempted action. Runs on servers and workstations.

Examples of things you can do with FileSure Defend

  • Easily set policies: Only accounting can read accounting files, only Executive Bob can open files in his folder, no one can access files between 6pm and 6am, deny “bulk” file transfers . . . the possibilities are virtually endless.
  • Handle compliance: set file access policy, enforce it, and then prove it with an instant report
  • Audit “Administrator” access and block internal/inadvertent data breaches—or prove to internal audits that files were not touched by anyone.
  • Prevent Data Loss without stopping work—FileSure can allow access but not theft. Stops theft by USB/external drive, CD/DVD, webmail, ftp, copy/paste, “save as,” . . . even on disconnected workstations or from remote access. More on Stopping Loss or Theft
  • Count on FileSure’s secure, tamper-proof data store, self-auditing functions, and ability to block anyone from stopping the service.
  • View logons/logoffs along with your file auditing data.
