Overview

Security Challenges and Threats

In today’s digital environment, employees routinely work with various data files and documents, such as Purchase Orders, Business Contracts, Design Drawings, Financial Reports and CCTV footage, generated and stored electronically.

Once users have access rights to a file, it becomes challenging to prevent them from copying and taking that information out of the company. Preventing data breaches becomes increasingly complex as companies deploy an array of communication channels and collaborative tools. Security breaches can occur through various means, such as removable devices, email services like Gmail, messaging apps like WhatsApp, online meetings, personal hotspots, screen captures, and more.

The Issue: Dilemma between Convenience Vs. Security

While some organizations opt to restrict access to specific channels (e.g., disabling USB ports), these strategies often fall short. As there are too many channels nowadays, it is hard for IT administrator to adopt different systems to control loopholes one by one.

Meanwhile, users need to communicate and collaborate effectively, imposing severe restrictions can hinder productivity.

The difficulty and dilemma lie in the balance between allowing employees to perform their duties and preventing unauthorized access or misuse of information.

Architecture

With Curtain e-locker, there is a Curtain Policy Server. Administrators can define which systems (e.g. share drives, web system, ERP, CCTV system, etc) in server are protected by Curtain e-locker. In order to access Protected systems, by default Curtain Client must be installed on user’s workstations. A secure folder (i.e. Local Protected Directory) will be automatically created in user’s workstation during installation of Curtain Client.

Then administrators can define different control policies for users/user groups centrally in Curtain Policy Server. Curtain e-locker has a unique design called Protected Zone (i.e. combined by Protected system in server and Local Protected Directory in user’s workstation). Users can work with sensitive information within the Zone as usual (e.g. Read, Edit, etc). However, they cannot take the information out of the Zone if they are not authorized. At the same time, users can still use Internet, email, and etc.

With Curtain e-locker, companies can allow users to work with the company’s data, documents, and information as they normally would, while simultaneously ensuring that the organization’s valuable data assets are safeguarded from unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

Licensing

So, how much is a license and how does the calculation work? Well, literally we have 2 types of licensing model, Perpetual and Subscription. After selecting licensing model, you should purchase licenses for protecting your client workstations and backend systems.

  • Select licensing model first (Perpetual or Subscription)
  • On client-side, choose to purchase the required license (Office Suite or Universal License) according to the number of workstations or the number of concurrent users, and you can purchase a mix of Office Suite and Universal license. Example: Buy 20 Universal licenses for design department to protect design documents, and buy another 100 Office Suite licenses for other departments to protect general office documents.
  • For backend system, purchase the corresponding backend system module for the system that needs to be protected. Example: If you need to protect share folders on Windows file server, you should purchase Curtain e-locker Protector for Windows File Server. No matter how many file servers need to be protected, only one file server protection module is needed.

Curtain e-locker Office Suite covers all our supported office applications, such as MS Office, Adobe Reader, etc. (See the list of Office Utilities in supported applications)
Curtain e-locker Universal License covers all our supported applications, from office applications to professional design software and CCTV systems, such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc. It also includes Curtain e-locker Office Suite.

For example: A company wants to implement Curtain e-locker to protect share drives on 5 Windows file servers, protect CAD/CAM files for 20 workstations in R&D department, and protect general office documents for 100 workstations in other departments.

License Required:
– 1 x Curtain e-locker Protector for Windows File Server (for protecting Windows file server)
– 20 x Curtain e-locker Universal license (for R&D department)
– 100 x Curtain e-locker Office Suite (for other departments)
