STME, the Middle East’s leading IT solutions provider and systems integrator (SI), has enabled the implementation of a disk encryption solution using Veritas (Symantec) at Manafea Holding Company (Manafea).
Manafea operates in various business sectors including leisure and tourism, real estate, and trading. The trading operations of the company deal with both local and international financial markets. As such the data and information that Manafea deals with is highly sensitive and valuable. Concerns arose, as the company and the number of devices used by employees for access grew, of the security of company data especially in the event of theft or hardware/software failure.
“Manafea’s data and information was basically dispersed because of the mobile nature of the laptops. Therefore, the solution had to take into account the different access points,” noted Mr. Ayman al Bayaa, CEO, STME. In consultations with the client, both parties agreed that a Symantec Endpoint Encryption (Full Disk Edition) was the best option.
Through continuous feedback with Manafea, it was decided the Symantec Endpoint Encryption (Full Disk Edition) was the best option. “This is a complete solution designed to protect all data on the hard drive of machines running on Microsoft Windows. Administrators of the machines are capable of encrypting the laptop’s hard drive to ensure safe harbour and to prevent the exposure of sensitive data. This is especially relevant in the event a laptop is stolen,” said Mr. Ayman.
“The solution that STME implemented for us does not require end-user training and provides a transparent encryption solution to the end-user. The Symantec solution has really helped in building the security of our data and information,” said Mr. Khaled Sada, IT Director, Manafea Holding Company.
