We were approached by a small consultancy firm with twenty employees that holds highly confidential information about their blue chip clients. After hearing of recent exposures of other consultancy firms in the press, they were understandably concerned and wanted to ensure they would not suffer the same fate.

Our engineers met with their team and quickly understood their needs. They had no interest in diverting their focus from managing clients to monitoring internal security.

We recommended Hibun AE. The main area in their organisation which needed protecting was the use of laptops and memory sticks. The company had already taken sensible steps to govern how the user accessed the network from the laptop, but there were no security measures in place (other than Windows log on) to guard the files. If these devices were ever lost or stolen, they represented a potentially highly embarrassing and damaging situation.

By installing Hibun AE on all company devices, we ensured that all files saved on both desktop PCs and laptops (other than Windows or Program Files) were fully encrypted automatically. If a laptop were to be stolen, the information held on there would be irretrievable. In addition, any files that are deleted from the devices are permanently deleted so that not even criminals using recovery software can access. This ensures that customer data is never at risk.

Our client was highly satisfied with the product and they weren’t the only ones, with 1.4 million Hibun AE licenses being sold in Japan alone!
