EBS Building Society has teamed up with IT services group Calyx to address the security threat of data loss and virus alerts posed by USB devices.
Calyx deployed a Check Point solution designed to prevent unauthorised copying of sensitive data from enterprise laptops and PCs through a centrally managed port control, content filtering and media encryption.
The Check Point Endpoint Security Media Encryption (CPEP-ME) system gives the EBS enhanced system integrity, virus prevention, real-time logging and automated alerts.
EBS information security officer David Cahill said: “We have also ensured compliance objectives are met and [that] we are able to run a complete audit of device usage.”
Calyx Security’s Geraldine Locke notes: “After recognising that a complete network lockdown was not an option for EBS, we identified CPEP-ME as a solution to control the use of removable media devices and visibility of data getting in and out of the network.”
EBS, which has over 600 staff and 430,000 customers nationwide, previously looked to Calyx Security for anti-spam and anti-virus advice.
