New Features and Functionality v8.11
● Enterprise Edition now supports Secure Lifecycle. Secure Lifecycle provides data security, wherever it goes - data at rest,
data in motion and data in use - through encryption. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) ensures no data is lost in motion or in flight,
while Digital Rights Management (DRM) defines access and usage control. Additionally, file monitoring provides detailed
data usage visibility to support forensics needs. Secure Lifecycle provides security, authority, visibility, and cross-platform
compatibility - all through a single solution - with the following features:
○ Auditing and reporting on file activity, files synced, files accessed by whom, where and when, and compliance reporting.
○ Geolocation with map visualization as well as multiple filtering options for audit events.
○ Enforcement of whitelists/graylists/blacklists of email domains and addresses for control over file sharing.
○ Enforcement of policies for access to cloud services, folders, and applications.
○ Management of key expirations and polling periods.
○ Ability of administrators to monitor all known IP addresses for cloud service providers and match them with the
application process to centrally manage encryption, encryption keys, data recovery, policies and forensics.
Secure Lifecycle Protected Office mode offers enhanced security on Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) for
internal users.
○ Files remain encrypted for unauthorized users, for example, when files are attached in email, moved in a web browser or
File Explorer, or stored on removable media.
○ A callback beacon can be inserted into every protected Office file, when the beacon server is installed as part of the Dell
Server Front End/Proxy Mode installation.
○ Protected Office documents are supported with Mozy, our companion solution, as well as other cloud, email, and nfs
storage products.
