The NC Protect product of archTIS Ltd, a global provider of innovative software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information, has taken out the ‘Policy Management Solution of the Year’ award at the 7th CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards.
This annual international award program is conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organisation that recognises the top companies, technologies and products in the global information security market.
About NC Protect
The archTIS NC Protect product tailors information protection and compliance across Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and file share applications using Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) and protection policies that enforce zero trust at the data layer.
NC Protect enforces compliance and data security policies for global privacy regulations, intellectual property, PCI, HIPAA, Defence information security mandates and other policies.
Fully integrated with Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint Server, it works across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
Awards mission
The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honour excellence and recognise the innovation, hard work and success in a range of information security categories, including cloud security, threat detection, risk management, fraud prevention, mobile security, email security and many more.
This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from more than 20 different countries around the world.
“Data-centric approach”
CyberSecurity Breakthrough managing director Steve Johansson said: “NC Protect enforces an organisation’s compliance policies for users and devices. NC Protect is completely transparent to the end user.
"With most solutions, once you have access to an application and file, it’s yours. Worse, security incidents caused by insiders are hard to detect.
“NC Protect is our choice for ‘Policy Management Solution of the Year’ as it provides a proactive data-centric approach to access and security. The simple, fast and dynamic solution efficiently controls access to content, usage rights and how authorised users can share and with whom.”
archTIS’ NC Protect automatically finds and classifies data, and secures files, messages and chats to protect against breaches, data misuse and unauthorised access. Policy-driven controls utilise user and data attributes to approve or deny access and ensure users can access, share and collaborate securely.
The solution uses attributes such as chat content and IP location to support compliance and business requirements. This data-centric approach enables granular control to adjust security in real time. It also controls what users can do with the information after access is granted.
Breakthrough features also include a secure ready-only viewer, dynamic security watermarks, CAD file protection and file integrity checks. NC Protect can redact sensitive/classified information, and logs can be sent to SIEMs for further analysis and downstream actions.
“Proactive and dynamic”
“We designed NC Protect to be proactive and dynamic as a reactive approach is no longer sufficient to manage security," said archTIS managing director and CEO Daniel Lai.
"Internal security incidents, due to simple mistakes, are just as prevalent as those caused by external actors. NC Protect secures information and enforces compliance requirements using contextual policy-based controls that can adapt to meet threats from wherever they might come.
“Thank you to CyberSecurity Breakthrough for supporting our focus on developing and applying new security solutions to enable citizens, governments and corporations to share and collaborate on their most valuable and sensitive information.
