New hardcopy security feature for business intelligence now available
Singapore, 18 November –The stricter standards in regulatory requirements, such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (SOX), have made it necessary for businesses to require greater security and accountability in the use of business documents.
Yet, according to studies , the biggest source of information security incidents in businesses occurs as a result of information leakage through paper documents (50%), compared to the personal computer (16.8%) and other portable recordable media (15.7%).
In an answer to this need, industry leaders RadianTrust and Elixir Technology have collaborated to integrate their two award-winning products, Elixir Repertoire Integrated Business Intelligence Suite and RadianTrust Phidélity into one seamless end-to-end solution.
“With this partnership, customers can rest assured that their business intelligence information is safe. Our secure ID-trace technology embedded in the documents will be able to trace any illegal leakage of information, giving businesses the level of security that they demand,” said Tang Weng Sing, General Manager of RadianTrust.
This new solution gives users the option to embed hardcopy security features to business intelligence reports, as part of the end-to-end processing from data sourcing, report design, automation control and printing of the final secured document in a single all-in-one platform.
Users can set options within the Elixir system to use Phidélity’s secured printing option before printing, to embed anti-forgery, anti-counterfeiting, accountability and/or traceability features into the final printed document. Importantly, no special paper, ink or equipment is required for use.
With these security features in place, unauthorized leakage can be easily tracked and traced, through Phidélity’s latest feature, ID Trace, which captures the identity of the user, embedding it within the printout. Illegal duplication and tampering of documents can also be detected.
“Through this collaboration, we are confident that the new integrated security option added to the Elixir Repertoire suite will offer our customers a more secured business intelligence solution, benefiting them through reduced security and compliance risks and liabilities,” said Lau Shih Hor, CEO of Elixir Technology.
RadianTrust will be showing Phidélity at the FSI World Congress, held from 18-19 November 2008, at Suntec Singapore. The event is an initiative to showcase the latest products and address the upcoming trends that are related to the financial services industry.
About RadianTrust
www.radiantrust.com
RadianTrust is an IT security solutions and services provider, whose flagship solution, Phidélity, helps to ensure that hardcopy documents cannot be re-produced or modified by unauthorised parties.
Phidélity’s latest feature, ID-Trace, utilizes steganography to insert a covert but traceable “electronic fingerprint” into printed documents. This allows information, such as the identity of the user who initiated the printing or the date of the printing, to be embedded within the print-out, providing accountability. Corporations can now inject traceability at the point when data becomes hardcopy – an understated threat that most DLP solutions tend to overlook once electronic data is converted into physical form.
Phidélity also helps to secure printed documents from being counterfeited and forged through the use of its Optical Watermark, Microprint and SecureCODE. An added bonus feature of this product is that it does not require the use of special ink or paper.
