Luxury rental accommodation company, Cape Villas, has successfully implemented SystemSkan to secure its valuable data and also manage its Internet usage. Local data security solutions provider J2 Software implemented Systemskan.
The unpredictable economy has put immense strain on companies; it is critical that their costs are closely monitored and strictly controlled to ensure success. These include physical costs like telephone bills, salaries and rental agreements, but also extend to non-tangible elements like protecting one's confidential and valuable information, bandwidth control and productivity.
SystemSkan is used to identify security risks within an organisation, and provides policy enforcement tools to minimise these risks. It also assists in setting the appropriate policy and provides enforcement tools to protect company information.
Cape Villas managing director Simone Smith says SystemSkan is a total user management tool, which provides business owners with the ability to view and record every user's actions on the computer network, including Internet usage. “With users being able to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail and browse the local network, often in an unstructured manner, it is more important than ever that employees are monitored and kept productive.
SystemSkan is a simple tool to enforce your IT policy, increase productivity and cut bandwidth costs. It will greatly increase the efficiency of network management and reduce the cost of administration services within the workplace.
“With SystemSkan, every user event is audited and can be controlled. It can detect program usage, file access and activity, and generate records of all network activity. It is essential that access to information is managed and users are accountable for their actions,” she explains.
J2 Software managing director John Mc Loughlin says Cape Villas has already shown a good return on investment. “Cape Villas is a highly respected rental accommodation company and J2 Software is proud to be chosen to provide increased internal security and to be its policy enforcement solutions provider.”
SystemSkan provides reports in a simple, easy-to-use format. Unlike basic monitoring products, which are purely reactive, SystemSkan provides both reactive and proactive security features.
Smith says many business owners do not have the tools to know what users are doing on the organisation's computers and on the network. “Very little consideration has been given to providing solid management systems to ensure that the investment in technology delivers maximum benefit. In these tough times, it is extremely important that executives take corrective steps and ensure that there are preventative measures in place for this.
“SystemSkan has allowed us to stop data theft and it also prevents viruses from coming in through any removable storage devices. The installation only took three days and J2 Software was extremely helpful and knowledgeable,” concludes Smith.
