WSH Gets Laptop Security Solution from Intel and Symantec: Brief
Challenges
Insuring laptops. System integrator WSH wanted to protect the security of its laptop fleet, which contains sensitive third-party data, against loss and theft.
• Introducing new services. Based on its own experience of securing laptops, WSH also wanted to introduce a value-add client security service for its customers in order to increase revenue.
Solutions
• Safeguarding data. Rolled out Symantec PGP* Whole Disk Encryption* (WDE*) and Remote Disable and Destroy* (RDD*) with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) to its entire laptop fleet.
Impact
• Superior security. WSH can now lock down lost or stolen laptops, disabling access to data even if the device is out of reach.
• Reaching customers. Based on its own positive experience, WSH recommends laptops powered by 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel AT, together with Symantec PGP WDE and RDD, to customers.
• Increasing revenue. Ability to offer complementary 24/7 remote monitoring and management services to customers strengthens WSH’s portfolio and increases revenue.
Rising security risks
Laptop loss and theft are on the rise. According to the Hungarian National Police Headquarters, 3,376 laptops were lost or stolen in Hungary in 2011. The estimated value of these laptops was HUF 1.05 billion (GBP 2.9 million), while the associated security risks for corporations and mobile workers were immeasurable. More than ever before, enterprises need a reliable way to deter laptop theft and, if theft or loss does occur, the means to disable access to or destroy the stolen data even if the machine is out of reach.
As Symantec’s largest solution supplier in Hungary, system integrator WSH Számítástechnikai, Oktató és Szolgáltató Kft. (WSH) was eager to protect the security of its own laptop fleet, especially against loss and theft. To this end, it was one of the first organizations in Hungary to use Intel and Symantec’s jointly-developed security solution – PGP WDE and RDD with Intel AT – to secure laptops.
Based on its own positive experience using this solution, WSH decided to recommend laptops powered by 2nd generation Intel Core processors with Intel AT, together with Symantec PGP WDE and RDD, to customers. By doing so, it would be able to introduce a new revenue stream, helping it to improve competitiveness.
Laptop lockdown
Intel AT is available on select 2nd generation Intel Core and Core vPro™ processor family-based laptops when activated with a subscription from an Intel AT-enabled service such as Symantec PGP WDE and RDD.
Symantec PGP WDE and RDD with Intel AT helps businesses minimize the risk of data breaches by giving IT the ability to trigger a full system lockdown and seal critical cryptographic materials. At the simplest level, it deters would-be thieves by displaying the Intel AT and PGP WDE logo.
