Verdasys to Launch Mac OS X Agent for Digital Guardian Enterprise Information Protection Platform at RSA 2013

Extends Industry Leading Workstation, Desktop and Laptop Application and Data Visibility, Control and Forensic Coverage Across Windows, Linux and Now Mac

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA 2013 attendees will get a first look at the only Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) platform capable of monitoring, controlling and reporting on the movement of sensitive data to and from Mac workstations, desktops and laptops when Verdasys introduces the Digital Guardian® Agent for Mac OS X® during the RSA Conference Feb. 25-Mar. 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

“Follow the Leaders: Securing Your Enterprise Against Cyber Threats and Access Risk”

Verdasys Digital Guardian, also available as a Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP), is the only EIP platform to integrate compliance, insider threat prevention and cyber threat defense into a single solution that supports Mac OS, Linux and Windows. RSA 2013 attendees can register daily during exhibitor hours to win a free Apple iPad Mini by stopping by Verdasys Booth #2738.

The Digital Guardian Agent for Mac OS X permits continuous forensic logging of all system, application, user and data-level events as well as data discovery, classification tagging and risk-based policy enforcement.

"With extended coverage for OS 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion), customers can now manage and secure application usage, file movement and user actions on the OS X platform and integrate reporting and management of the Mac systems together with Windows and Linux -- all from a single management console," said Verdasys Vice President of Marketing Bill Munroe.

Digital Guardian Agents collect and aggregate all application and data events, providing risk intelligence on sensitive data and its usage. With this knowledge, security teams can protect intellectual property, trade secrets, PII and PHI data, implementing automated, policy based controls that include prompts to educate users in real-time on inappropriate data use. Encryption controls data access and protects sensitive data from compromise, while blocking is implemented where risks are deemed critical.

Verdasys is sponsoring a VIP Reception, "Follow the Leaders: Securing Your Enterprise Against Cyber Threats and Access Risk" from 6-8pm on Wed., Feb. 27 at FANG Restaurant. For more information: http://www2.verdasys.com/RSA2013.

In addition to the new Digital Guardian Mac Agent, Verdasys will showcase the Verdasys Managed Service for Information Protection, recently launched to offer a complete turn-key data protection service offering the same data protection as Digital Guardian with no upfront costs for hardware, software or staffing.

Verdasys is at RSA 2013 Booth 2738.
