BestCrypt Data Shelter adds zero-trust file access controls
▼ Summary
– Jetico has extended BestCrypt Data Shelter to provide centrally managed enterprise data access control for sensitive files, enforcing a default-deny model aligned with zero-trust principles.
– Administrators use a centralized console to create, distribute, and update policies specifying which applications, processes, and users can interact with designated files.
– The solution aims to reinforce existing encryption, enforce granular access controls, limit insider and process risk, reduce ransomware risk, and support immutable backup strategies.
– BestCrypt Data Shelter integrates with Jetico’s AI-powered BCWipe Search for data discovery and classification, enabling targeted access control policies through the same interface.
– Jetico is inviting a limited group of organizations to evaluate BestCrypt Data Shelter through an enterprise pilot program focused on proactive access control against ransomware, unauthorized access, and data leakage.
Jetico has unveiled an expanded version of BestCrypt Data Shelter that now brings centrally managed enterprise data access controls to sensitive files. The upgraded solution empowers security teams to define and enforce precise policies that govern which applications, processes, and users can interact with protected data. Operating on a default-deny model, this approach directly aligns with zero-trust security principles.
“Organizations have made significant progress in encrypting data and securing the perimeter, but broad access inside trusted environments often remains uncontrolled,” says Jetico CEO Hannaleena Pojanluoma. “BestCrypt Data Shelter takes a different approach by restricting access by default and allowing only trusted applications and authorized users to interact with sensitive data.”
From a single centralized management console, administrators can now create, distribute, and update access control policies across all endpoints. Each policy specifies exactly which trusted applications, processes, and users are permitted to interact with designated files.
In practice, organizations can use BestCrypt Data Shelter to achieve several critical outcomes. They can reinforce existing encryption, authentication, and perimeter security. They can also enforce granular access controls within trusted applications, helping to limit insider and process risk. Additionally, the solution helps reduce ransomware risk and supports immutable backup strategies.
BestCrypt Data Shelter builds on Jetico’s latest AI-powered BCWipe Search capabilities for data discovery and classification. This integration allows organizations to identify sensitive data across endpoints, classify files that require extra protection, and then apply targeted access control policies through the same management interface.
When combined with BestCrypt Volume Encryption and BCWipe, Jetico’s solutions create a comprehensive endpoint data protection framework. This framework helps organizations discover, protect, and securely erase sensitive data, supporting compliance and audit readiness even under the strictest regulations.
“At Jetico, we aim to provide organizations with a unified endpoint data protection strategy that maintains visibility, control and compliance throughout the data lifecycle,” Pojanluoma concludes.
Jetico is now inviting a limited group of organizations to evaluate BestCrypt Data Shelter through its enterprise pilot program. The program focuses on proactive data access control against ransomware, unauthorized access, and data leakage.
