Sophos Launches Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 Data Encryption Solution

Sophos announced Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8, a new synchronized encryption solution that protects data against theft from malware, attackers or accidental leaks. All organizations can now choose to adopt the best practice of “always-on” file-level encryption to protect data accessed from mobile devices, laptops, desktops, on-prem networks and cloud-based file sharing applications. Sophos is the first vendor to provide persistent, transparent and proactive encryption that protects files across Windows, Mac, iOS or Android platforms by default.

Until now, the management and adoption of encryption has been viewed as too complex and is not uniformly adopted. According to the Sophos survey, The State of Encryption Today, only 29 percent of IT managers said they always encrypt smartphones and only 43 percent of Macs, leaving high levels of exposure across an organization.

“Full disk encryption alone only protects data in the event of the theft or loss of a laptop or mobile device. But data travels everywhere - it’s vulnerable and extremely difficult to protect consistently when shared and opened from multiple devices and cloud-based collaboration applications,” said Dan Schiappa, senior vice president and general manager, Enduser Security Group, Sophos. “We’ve completely re-imagined SafeGuard Encryption 8 to encrypt each individual file by default and continuously validate users, applications and devices for secure collaboration. We also provide password protected files, allowing users to share encrypted files with external recipients. When data security is simple and transparent, end users are more likely to accept it, making your whole business more secure and more likely to stay compliant.”

Manish Shah, director of ITCG Solutions Pvt. Ltd. said, “Encrypting personal and professional data is the number one priority today, as cyber-attacks are on an uphill. When we first tested SafeGuard Encryption 8, we were impressed with the technology and the ability of the product to protect and manage sensitive data on a Mac, iOS, Windows or Andriod. The ‘always-on’ encryption actually follows the user giving easy access to sensitive data without compromising on security. ITCG is very excited with this product being brought to the market. It gives us and Sophos an edge over other leading brands.”

Anand V, director of Raksha Technologies Pvt. Ltd. said: “We are happy to see Sophos implementing its Synchronized Security strategy so effectively. Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 adds an additional security layer to applications which will helps us effectively protect sensitive information with ease. What is more important is the simple and smooth deployment. We are excited to bring synchronized encryption to our customers,”
