What is TakeWare® Gatekeeper™?

TakeWare® Gatekeeper™ is a sophisticated security technology (and product) which protects organisations and individuals - and their systems - against mass data theft and the consequences of copyright and other abuse.

The world changed - for the better - when memory became pocketable and hot-pluggable. But every powerful tool brings the potential for abuse and it’s possible to steal or inject Megabytes - even Gigabytes - of crucial information very quickly now. This is a major 21st century problem - a huge security issue for just about everyone.

There are even suites of USB based / pluggable hacker-utilities freely available on the Internet which automate the task of covertly accessing and abstracting interesting data - in person and also over the Internet. (Google USBHackSaw and USBSwitchBlade for more info, and PodSnaffler for a safe demonstration of how powerful this technology is).

Banning the tool - in this case memory devices - is never the solution. Nor is a heavy-handed regime that over-controls the PC / network and makes work and inconvenience for everyone.

We have taken a radically different path to enabling the effective and complete use of these powerful tools while controlling and eradicating the abuse - as well as bringing a new kind of accountability to prevent it.

We don't believe that turning off the ports - however selectively - or even controlling them is the answer ('end-point security' as it is sometimes known), as this creates yet another burden on already overburdened people and resources.

We have used our unique approach and technology to effectively monitor and control the devices themselves and content they hold. A new and different approach which has proved extremely effective in some of today's toughest environments.

This enables us to deliver TakeWare ® Gatekeeper™ as a 'Fit&Forget' solution, constantly monitoring and policing abuse without a need for a phalanx of techies to waste their time on it.

Background

The not-so-quiet revolution that has brought about the 'iPod Generation' also brings with it a threat that we can no longer ignore - opening the floodgates via a data-highway that is faster than the Internet and has been completely unprotected.

This comes in via iPods, smart-phones, pendrives and a plethora of other removable devices, increasingly from people inside as well as outside. This is the biggest threat to many organisations today, big and small, yet has been almost entirely neglected - until now!

Schools, colleges and learning institutions are also increasingly at risk not just from data theft, malware and other dangerous content but also from law suits for breach of copyright and the data protection act – with directors and governors increasingly held personally liable.

Gartner Research has recently drawn attention to this, saying "Organisations are increasingly putting themselves at risk by allowing the unauthorized and uncontrolled use of portable storage devices".

“These are ideal for anyone intending to steal sensitive and valuable data. Employees may also be responsible for losing data if they inadvertently mislay these devices. The impact of this goes beyond the commercial value of the data.”

Prevention - better than cure

Takeware® Gatekeeper has been designed ‘from the ground up’ to efficiently monitor, record and actually police both devices and the flow of data onto (and off of) the whole range of portable ‘mass storage devices’. Integrated control and intelligent monitoring removes the need for interventions by scarce and expensive technicians.

Our active system intelligently enforces policies – standalone or across your network - allowing only authorised devices and authorised use. Otherwise remaining virtually invisible while protecting you against the increasingly prevalent attacks from inside as well as outside - allowing safe use of your PCs and their ports and proper use of removable devices, providing convenience and greater efficiency with the security needed you need.

Perfected in some of today’s harshest environments Takeware® Gatekeeper:

• Integrates monitoring and active policing of the whole range of portable devices

• Allows only ‘authorised’ removable devices to be attached to the PC

• Prevents use of Banned Content

• Maintains a full audit trail

• Passport based ‘Hard Login’: ‘door-pass’ and ‘escorted’ modes are supported. This powerful new feature limits access to a PC and strongly authenticates users.

BackupMaster™ Fusion™ - The New Gold Standard
 

Download flyer Here Contact us about Fusion Go to the TakeWare® Store call us on +44 (0)844 8844941 for further details.

Fusion™ is the new gold standard for fully automated backup, archiving and now offsite backup too!  – You don't even need to know where your files are to start!

Fusion™  combines the speed and convenience of TakeWare® BackupMaster™ with the utter security of fully automated offsite backup,
delivering:

 

• Fast backup – around fifteen times faster
• Intelligent 'appliance' - Zero install, Zero configuration, one-click deployment
• Unprecedented security reliability and resilience
• Extremely cost effective
• Restoration of even a single file so easy anyone can do it
• Fully Automated archiving and offsite storage

How does it work?
Using TakeWare®’s patented technology we combine fully automated fast local backup and archiving (from BackupMaster™) with either our FireSafeOnline® service or your own central backup store (or a FusionBackup™ appliance should you need it).

Backup of each PC / server is on demand or on schedule. Then BackupMaster™ Fusion™ quietly takes over, efficiently replicating your encrypted, compressed data across to your data store – out of harms way.


Any Questions?

Does it cost the Earth?   
No! Probably less than your existing local or online backup.

How does it compare with tape?   
It's far faster, more reliable & more robust. All round better.

How much physical space does it take?   
Not much. From around the size of a PDA. It's also very 'green'.

Can it do multiple servers / SQL / Exchange / a.n.other product?   
Yes, yes and yes.

Can I recover a document I deleted by accident, myself?   
Yes, it's easy.

Won't it hog my bandwidth and slow everything down?   
No. It will use 'spare' bandwidth and you will probably never even know it's there!

How many archives does it keep?   
As many as you like, you can have Terabytes of them.

Can I configure the backup myself?   
Yes – if you want to – or allow our intelligent profiles to do the work.

Isn't this all too good to be true?  
Well it looks that way, but it isn't. We have years of experience – not to mention a patent.

Fusion™ FAQ

Where does TakeWare® Fusion™ come into backup?
If you have BackupMaster™ or BackupGenius™ you already have fast, reliable and robust local backup. If you have it on more than one device and you always keep one of them physically separate from the source of the data then you're pretty well protected.

Fusion™ offers to automate this bringing even greater protection, by automatically replicating your whole backup device online (encrypted) and safely out of harms way. This gives the best of both worlds - blindingly fast backup, minimal (or zero) downtime, plus the extra security of off-site storage.

In fact it gets even better because our Fusion™ 'FireSafe' offers yet another layer of protection by replicating itself to yet another physically remote location making the chances of those secure replicas of your backup device - and your data - being destroyed vanishingly small. (If you think this sounds expensive - it isn't. It's typically less than the cost of your existing conventional backup!) Because of the powerful delta technologies integrated it won't clog up your Internet connection either.

Can we have TakeWare® Fusion™ on our own infrastructure / server - for ourselves and/or our clients?
Yes. We can supply this for you - or advise and/or provide you with all that is necessary to mount your own 'FireSafe'. Optionally we can also offer remote replication of your Firesafe if you wish.
