Integrated DLP and Encryption: Trustwave DataControl

Written by | Oct 6, 2011

Businesses worldwide are challenged when it comes to pinpointing the location of critical and sensitive data. Losing control of sensitive data can lead to fines, brand and reputation damage, and even loss of competitive advantage. To identify, monitor, audit and protect critical data, data-focused technology is required. Individual files require protection independent of hardware and software infrastructure.

Discover Once, Protect Forever

With Trustwave's DataControl solution, organizations can "Discover Once, Protect Forever" the data that is critical to daily business operations. Integrating Trustwave DLP Discover and Encryption (specifically Smart Tag™ technology), DataControl enables organizations to understand the content distributed within the enterprise while securing the data with the appropriate encryption policies.

Trustwave DataControl can:

  • Scan file shares, desktops, laptops and other locations for sensitive information, including credit card numbers, patient records, intellectual property and other data
  • Automatically encrypt data and assign access control and security policies
  • Encrypt and protect data wherever it goes with Smart Tag technology
  • Ensure no disruptions in user workflow

Trustwave Launches 360 Application Security

Recently announced at AppSec USA 2010, Trustwave's 360 Application Security program is the only vertically integrated application security program, combining the critically acclaimed WebDefend Web application firewall (WAF) from Trustwave's acquisition of Breach Security, with the industry-leading security services of Trustwave's SpiderLabs.

A strong application security posture requires good offense and defense; Trustwave's 360 Application Security is a holistic security program, combining:

  • Secure Development Training: Ensures developers are creating programs based upon industry best practices
  • Application Penetration Testing: Simulates a coordinated attack, exposing security weaknesses by highlighting vulnerabilities that can lead to compromise of critical data
  • Code Review: Manual code review to inspect all relevant application source code and pinpoint deficiencies in security controls and identify development errors
  • Trustwave WebDefend WAF with Virtual Patching: Advanced WAF that offers customized, behavior-based security for each protected application

The entire solution is delivered by the security experts at SpiderLabs, bridging the gap between expert manual testing and automated protection found within many organizations.

ATM Technical Security Review

Experts from Trustwave's SpiderLabs identified malware specifically developed to target Automated Teller Machines (ATM) in their 2009 investigations. So-called credentialed malware, when embedded in the ATM software, has the ability to control access to the various functions using a physical token, such as an ATM or debit card, to authenticate. This malware then allows criminals to print ATM card numbers and personal identification numbers (PINs) recorded by the malware directly from the ATM.

To help prevent these attacks, SpiderLabs developed a comprehensive security review to test the ATM architecture, identify vulnerabilities and issue remediation recommendations. This new service includes:

  • Bank ATM Architecture Review
  • Internal Penetration Test
  • Machine-level Tests
  • Tactical and Strategic Recommendations
