"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."
