Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE:DBD), a global leader in providing innovative self-service technology, security systems and related services, selected Skyhigh Networks to accelerate the adoption of cloud services while ensuring the appropriate levels of security, compliance, and governance. Diebold chose Skyhigh because it was the only solution that demonstrated value within hours and addressed the entire cloud adoption lifecycle from discovery of all cloud services to analysis of use of cloud services to protection of corporation data in the cloud.

“We selected Skyhigh Networks so that we could arm our employees with the best possible cloud services to get their job done efficiently and without interruption,” said Adam Williams, Chief Security Officer of Diebold, Incorporated.

Skyhigh allows us to accelerate cloud adoption in a manageable way while meeting our security, compliance, and governance standards.

Skyhigh shines a light on Shadow IT by giving the organization a comprehensive view into its use of all cloud services (in general eight to ten times more cloud services are used than approved or anticipated by IT). For each cloud service in use, Skyhigh delivers an objective risk assessment (derived from over 35+ attributes for each service) to quickly identify data, business, and legal risks of these services.

Skyhigh analyzes the use of all cloud services to identify opportunities for IT to enable employees by subscribing to specific services, to reduce risk and costs by consolidating and better managing subscriptions, and to highlight anomalous behavior that may indicate a security breach, data leak, or compliance violation.

Skyhigh enforces the organization’s policies on the use of specific cloud services by controlling access, encrypting data with customer managed keys, preventing sensitive data from being disclosed (e.g., PII, PHI), and providing a live log of all accesses to specific cloud services. Finally, Skyhigh enables secure mobile access to approved cloud services without requiring any agent, footprint, or other friction to the end user.

“Leading organizations like Diebold are embracing the cloud revolution head-on and this proactive approach allows IT departments to partner with lines of business and create a secure environment for the productive use of cloud services,” said Rajiv Gupta, founder and CEO of Skyhigh Networks. “Our customers safely unlock massive cloud returns by finding and eliminating risk while preserving the native user experience that employees prefer.”

Skyhigh Networks, the cloud visibility and enablement company, today announced Skyhigh Secure for Box, the only cloud-based data loss prevention (DLP) solution on the market for organizations using Box. Skyhigh Secure for Box enables customers to extend their existing on-premise DLP capabilities to Box, protecting sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII), personal health information (PHI), as well as customer, financial, and proprietary data. Now, users can unlock the benefits of cloud-based content sharing and collaboration from Box, while ensuring compliance with both internal policies and external regulatory requirements, such as PCI, HIPAA and HITECH.

"At Box, we’re redefining the standards for content security in the cloud for our customers through ongoing investments in product technology, infrastructure and strategic partnerships," said Justin Somaini, Chief Trust Officer at Box. "Skyhigh Box Security is a comprehensive DLP solution for our customers because it protects data from loss and provides IT teams with unparalleled visibility into how sensitive content is shared in the cloud."

Skyhigh Secure for Box scans documents as soon as they are uploaded to Box. If a document contains information that violates an organization's data governance policy, then Skyhigh automatically triggers appropriate actions, such as alerting, blocking and quarantining. Skyhigh Secure for Box can also enable content inspection by an on-premise DLP solution, including McAfee DLP, RSA DLP and Symantec DLP. By integrating with on-premise DLP solutions, Skyhigh Secure for Box allows customers to leverage their existing investments in those technologies, while also aligning with their existing remediation processes.

For the first time ever, Box customers will be able to use Skyhigh's cloud DLP solution to extend the capabilities of their enterprise DLP solutions, such as Symantec DLP and RSA DLP, to their Box deployments. Previously, customers had to push all their Box data to their on-premise technologies, negating the benefits of using cloud SaaS solutions such as scalability, cost savings and bandwidth. Now, Skyhigh flags potential data policy violations in the cloud and sends only a select amount of data to the on-premise enterprise DLP solution for further inspection. This significantly decreases the amount of data that an organization needs to manage. Alternatively, Skyhigh Secure for Box will also trigger a range of DLP actions including alerting, blocking and quarantining, without sending any data back to on-premise DLP solutions.

"Box is the most enterprise-ready file sharing and collaboration service on the market today. However, companies still need to make sure that employees' use of cloud services complies with international, federal, and state regulations," said Rajiv Gupta, founder and CEO of Skyhigh Networks. "Skyhigh Secure enables organizations to seamlessly enforce their privacy, security and compliance policies without requiring any change to the service provider or any friction to the end-user."

Enforce data loss prevention policies and ensure compliance: Skyhigh CloudDLP™ provides the only cloud-based data loss prevention solution that can be deployed inline or offline. A range of remediation actions are supported, including alerting, blocking, and quarantining.
