The ability to seamlessly implement security solutions in strategic layers is quickly becoming the standard for organizations seeking cost-efficient methods of protecting digital identities and information.
The Hong Kong branch of PT Bank Mandiri, one of Indonesia's largest financial institutions, chose Entrust (Nasdaq: ENTU) to address their security challenges. The bank will deploy the Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform and the Entrust Entelligence Group Share network folder encryption solution, which are key components of a layered security model.
"The sensitive information of our customers, as well as our own intellectual property, is one of our most valuable assets," said PT Bank Mandiri MIS manager Richard Yiu. "Understanding the need to protect these identities and information, the Hong Kong branch of PT Bank Mandiri sought easy-to-use solutions that would help authenticate users and encrypt vital files, folders or networks. Entrust offered a complete package that could be implemented seamlessly within our existing environment."
PT Bank Mandiri elected to deploy Entrust IdentityGuard to secure remote access to corporate resources. To help protect the loss or misuse of sensitive corporate data, PT Bank Mandiri will leverage the Entrust Entelligence Group Share network folder encryption solution, which is based on patented client-server architecture. The easy-to-use solution enables enterprises to implement transparent and automatic network folder encryption that can provide streamlined audit capabilities, centralized management and can be deployed in a variety of different environments.
"Organizations require easy-to-use solutions that can help them secure sensitive information or intellectual property, as well as facilitate online transactions in a safe, secure manner," said Entrust Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Conner. "Leveraging the capabilities of several solutions as part of a layered security model helps promote efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and also instills an invaluable peace of mind for consumers and organizations alike."
