Suite combines DataDefense(TM) and Connected(R) Backup/PC Offerings with
special discount pricing
BOSTON, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services,
today introduced the PC Data Protection Suite combining the data backup
benefits of Iron Mountain's Connected(R) Backup/PC solution with the data
security functionality of its DataDefense(TM) solution. The integrated suite
provides enterprise-control over the PC data protection and recovery process,
with complete endpoint security. The Company is currently offering competitive
discount pricing for both new and existing customers.
As more and more sensitive company information resides on PCs, laptops,
and in remote offices that fall outside the protection of the enterprise's
central data center, it is becoming more important for businesses to manage
the risks of lost or corrupt data. In addition, new federal, state, and
international regulations are requiring companies to take stringent measures
to secure private and personal data.
"With the stakes so high, the protection of business-critical and
confidential data is now a top priority for companies," said John Clancy,
executive vice president, Iron Mountain Digital, the Company's technology
business unit. "Iron Mountain's PC Data Protection Suite gives companies the
peace of mind that they will always have control over distributed PC data,
even if they lose control over the device."
The suite's first line of protection is Iron Mountain's DataDefense
solution, which automatically detects and monitors threats, and can encrypt
and ultimately eliminate data to prevent its compromise or misuse. The second
measure is Iron Mountain's Connected Backup/PC solution, the undisputed
number-one solution for automatic backup and rapid recovery of data stored on
PCs.
Highlights of the PC Data Protection Suite include:
- Easy Enterprise-Level Control -- Both DataDefense and Connected
Backup/PC solutions are administered in-house for complete enterprise-
level control of data stored on PCs, both inside and beyond company
firewalls. All end-user compliance obligations are removed, returning
the responsibility and safeguarding of data to enterprise and IT
leaders.
- Automated, Transparent Solution -- Data protection and recovery no
longer need to be labor intensive for your valuable IT resources or end-
users. The suite provides fully automated data protection, without
disrupting daily activities. The solution requires no special end user
compliance, training, or change in usual work processes.
- Endpoint Security -- With the PC Data Protection Suite, IT
administrators can choose to encrypt any or all data, in any location(s)
on all local drives, and also destroy data when necessary. With the
DataDefense solution, the enterprise sets the criteria for threat
detection, monitoring, and actions to neutralize PC security threats.
The Connected Backup/PC solution also provides unbeatable security by
using the highest levels of digital backup security available; 128-bit,
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used during transmission to the
data center, for all data stored, and when users recover data.
- Flexible Management -- With the DataDefense solution, the enterprise can
easily adjust threat monitoring and reaction rules to meet their unique
PC data protection needs. For example, data destruction may be triggered
based on the number of times an incorrect password is entered, or if a
device is out of contact for a prescribed amount of time. With Connected
Backup/PC, the enterprise can set the timing for daily backups,
determine which types of files are backed up, and set user access and
functionality.
The PC Data Protection Suite includes the latest version of DataDefense.
New features of DataDefense 2.0 include advanced certificate management and
support for multiple users of a single PC.
The PC Data Protection Suite is offered as a subscription service or as
licensed software. The subscription service provides secure, off-site data
storage, instant scalability, and unmatched ease of use, and requires no
capital investment, while the licensed software allows organizations to run
the solution inside their own IT environments.
Special discount pricing for the PC Data Protection Suite is available for
new and existing customers. For more information, please contact (800) 899-
