Rikei Announces Kasai Kogyo Has Selected and Introduced Information Leak Prevention Solution "Digital Guardian"
Rikei Corporation (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Katsuei Aoyagi) would like to announce that Kasai Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Koza-gun, Kanagawa; President and CEO: Kunisachi Watanabe) has adopted "Digital Guardian"("DG"), a leading information leak prevention solution developed and produced by Verdasys, Inc. that is represented by Rikei as Master Distributor.
DG is a product being adopted by many companies across the world as an information asset protection solution, especially rapidly adopted by major companies listed in U.S. Global 2000, as an information asset protection solution which ensures compliance with the Private Information Protection Law, SOW Law, Japanese-version SOW Law and Information Asset Protection Law. In Japan, too, DG is adopted by many companies such as major car manufacturers, electric products manufacturers, financial companies, local governments, etc. As DG is designed to monitor user operations at the time of PCs being used, block access to important information assets against rule violators and provide audit/control/monitoring without a combined use with other products, it provides a real total information asset protection solution as IT governance.
Reasons for DG Selection by Kasai Kogyo
- Can obtain log of operations by all clients and allow flexible policy/rule settings.
- Has an alert/response function against any rule violators, which notifies such violators of the rule violations by means of its unique POP-UP display and is expected to have a control effect against them.
- You can identify any unapproved application by using DG's unique function of being able to display a list of all applications being used and its flexible policy-setting function, allowing you to make rule settings so that such application won't be used.
- High compatibility with Active Directory, allowing log analysis and terminal control even by user level and computer level.
- As encryption is applied not only when log is stored but also when data is sent from a client to the server, it can be used as forensic evidence.
- You can decide security policies for your company, determine the trend of information risks from Alert Reports, and output that log to give feedback to various divisions concerned within your company.
As for its reason for selecting DG, Kasai Kogyo commented as follows.
"Our company has a lot of important technical information assets including development data and experiment data, which have been obtained and are being used under our company's IT infrastructure. For this reason, we have been thinking of conducting flexible control against such data while maintaining high security. We have conducted evaluation tests on security solutions of several suppliers to find DG is the solution which is well-balanced and meets our company's requirements because it allows us to do monitoring, control and audit without the need to use it in combination with other products. This is why we have decided to purchase and use several thousands of licenses to use it for all employees of our company."
