Secure import of files and updates
File and update imports into an IT system often come with risks. Data Guard enables the introduction of files in a secure and controlled manner. Each file is reviewed with logical rules and antivirus engines, and files are only allowed to pass if they pose no threat.
Security logs
All data transport through Data Guard is logged, providing traceability of who has imported or exported a particular file, which files are involved, and when it occurred. It also provides a summary of which software has been downloaded and introduced into an organization.
Supports PKI
Data Guard supports card-based authentication and user authorization control, as well as transport protection with user certificates. This makes it a highly powerful solution, even in scenarios where confidentiality requirements are very high.
File Scanning Upon Import
The introduction of files and software updates into an IT system is a vulnerable point that can pose a significant security threat. Whether it’s employees’ own files, files from external suppliers, or downloads from the internet, there’s always a risk they may contain viruses or malware.
link22 Data Guard is a software product that enables secure and safe file importation. By allowing all imported files to be reviewed by the Data Guard, cybersecurity is significantly enhanced compared to a situation where files are moved without control using portable media.
- File Inspection: Data Guard comes with a range of filters designed to detect unwanted files. It can operate based on logic determined by source, destination, content, or other parameters you choose.
- Anti-virus Engines: It supports several anti-virus engines and optional deep-inspection (CDR). There’s also the option to create custom rules and filters, including whitelisting and blacklisting.
- Quarantine for Suspicious Files: Files that are not approved are placed in quarantine for manual assessment.
