Human beings have proven themselves to be good at many different things, and yet there is still an awful little that we do better than growing on a consistent basis. This progressive streak, on our part, has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the stated group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new GRC-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
SessionGuardian, a leader in Continuous Identity Assurance and Data Protection, has officially announced the launch of a groundbreaking solution called SessionGuardian Mobile softwaew, which is designed to deliver never-seen-before mobile security. Currently available to only iOS mobile devices, the stated solution will act like a complimentary service for the company’s existing solutions in SessionGuardian VDI and SessionGuardian Web. But how will the whole value proposition look from a more actionable standpoint? Well, of course, we begin with the solution’s pledge to issue an optimal level of identity assurance. This it will do through continuous facial authentication so to actively prevent unauthorized access and shoulder surfing. Not just that, it will also conduct a thorough brand of 3rd party verification using government-issued identity documents. Then, there is the prospect of data protection, a prospect which SessionGuardian Mobile software will realize by preventing screen sharing, unsolicited screen capture, print, and file downloads. To further strengthen the security angle, the solution won’t let anyone take photos of the screen with even a separate mobile phone or digital camera. In case that still doesn’t sound convincing enough, then we must mention how the software will also make a point to add watermarks for maximum security in every single case. Extending that pledge of security is SessionGuardian’s ability to maintain strict privacy standards throughout the proceedings. As a result, the solution will not be storing or transmitting any user’s biometric data. Now, when you are seeking security, one of your more primary objectives is to generate the highest visibility that is possible. Fortunately enough, SessionGuardian’s latest brainchild stays mindful of the same, meaning it brings to the fore granular level audit trails and alerts to enhance visibility, and at the same time, the solution also ensure seamless SIEM integrations. Despite already putting a comprehensive set of security measures in place, though, the new software still rigorously tries to drum up device security by green-lighting connections only from approved networks, geolocations, and almost like an extra piece of layer, only during approved times/days of the week.
“SessionGuardian Mobile shows our unyielding commitment to providing comprehensive identity assurance and data protection solutions. With the growing remote and hybrid workforce, we are dedicated to safeguarding users’ data access on mobile devices seamlessly,” said George Marks, CEO of SessionGuardian.
Having covered the granular picture, we can move on to acknowledging that SessionGuardian Mobile will offer us a full range of benefits, including seamless integration of custom security protocols across all deployment options. Other than that, it hands us broadened identity assurance which goes well beyond MFA and one-time checks. Users can even expect simplified compliance and enhanced audit processes in regards to all identity and data-related controls. However, this shouldn’t signal any drop in the quality, because in reality, SessionGuardian Mobile software will deliver at your disposal a rather enhanced data protection mechanism to address vulnerabilities in a productive manner.
The whole development provides an interesting follow-up to one recent IBM report on data breaches, where it was revealed that more than 51% organizations plan to increase security investments as a result of a breach. Further contextualizing the importance attached to such a solution was a separate discovery, which said that the global average cost of a single breach is estimated to be, at the moment, somewhere around a whopping $4.45M.
