Ships Version 1.0 of Lost Data
Destruction Software™
Software Automatically
Eliminates Critical Information
on Lost or Stolen Computers
SAN FRANCISCO,
RSA Booth #234 - Feb. 15, 2005
- Beachhead Solutions Inc., the
pioneer in information security
through data elimination, today
announced the release of Lost
Data Destruction software version
1.0. The security solution automatically
destroys specified data on lost
or stolen laptop and desktop computers
to prevent its compromise or misuse.
Unlike most other data security products, this software-based
solution does not depend on user
compliance or involvement and
is particularly crucial for banks,
insurance companies, medical institutions
and other government and business
entities that are custodians of
confidential data.
The release of version 1.0 follows
several successful enterprise
pilots that proved the effectiveness
and ease of use for banks and
professional services firms needing
to protect sensitive client data.
Lost Data Destruction (LDD) uses
preset behavior-based triggers
to recognize when a device has
been lost or stolen, and then
destroys designated files, file
types, folders or encryption tags.
The software eliminates sensitive
data even if an unauthorized user
never logs onto the Internet.
Mohler, Nixon & Williams,
one of the 100 largest public
accounting firms in America, is
currently using LDD to ensure
the highest level of security
possible for client data.
“Protecting our clients and
their data is a top priority for
our firm and we wanted more than
just passwords and encryption
to protect against a security
breach,” said Clare Piech,
Chief Operations Officer, Mohler,
Nixon & Williams. “We also
wanted a solution that would not
disrupt productivity or inconvenience
our partners and staff. We were
able to implement the Lost Data
Destruction software client with
no loss of user productivity,
no user training, and very little
added IT burden.”
LDD protects important information
when other security solutions
fail due to common user behavior
such as:
Password
or token left with stolen computer
Computer left on or in standby
when stolen
Data not eliminated from contractor's
computer after engagement
Recent legislative acts such as
California SB 1386, HIPAA, Graham-Leach-Bliley,
Sarbanes-Oxley and FISMA include
measures that compel organizations
to publicly notify customers when
data has been lost.
“With increasingly stringent data
compliance requirements and more
than 1.5 million laptops stolen
in 2004 alone, companies have
too much to lose to simply rely
on users to keep critical data
safe and secure,” said Jim Obot,
President and CEO, Beachhead Solutions.
“Lost Data Destruction completes
the security chain broken by non-compliant
user behavior, and protects enterprises
from legal liability, reputation
damage and financial losses.”
Lost Data Destruction can be hosted
on the enterprise servers or on
a Beachhead remote server and
is backed by online or telephone
technical support. LDD works on
end-user systems running Windows
2000 or XP Professional.
