Fasoo Monthly Newsletter – January 2012

Sensitive data can be leaked during printing and scanning
FasooFasoo provides endpoint security solutions with Fasoo MFP Shell to prevent information leakage through scanned files and printed documents from multifunction printers (MFPs) along with FSP (Fasoo Secure Print) and FSS (Fasoo Secure Screen).

Fasoo MFP Shell prevents data leaks by protecting files from unauthorized access usingautomatic encryption, file usage permission control, pull printing, and print watermarking. The documents scanned from an MFP are saved to a designated folder on a file server and encrypted with DRM. Based on a predefined policy, the scanned files are not accessible if the user does not have the proper permission. With pull printing, unintended recipients can’t pick up printouts left at an MFP, since a user must enter a PIN code or use an ID card to release the print job. A print watermark which contains a user name, IP address, time and date, helps to track the information of printouts, thus improving security awareness among employees.

Organizations, especially enterprises and financial companies that have security concerns caused by using MFPs need Fasoo MFP Shell to strengthen their endpoint security.

▶ Key Features

  • Automatic encryption and permission control for scanned files
  • Pull printing to protect printouts from being mishandled
  • Print watermark to trace the source of printouts

Fasoo celebrates the end of the year by helping others
Fasoo celebratesFasoo conducted a charity program through ‘Fasoo Flea Market’ at its annual end of the year party, called ‘Fasoo Year-End Party’, on December 28, 2011. Fasoo donated profits from the sale of second hand goods, such as clothes, electronics, books, toys, fashion accessories, etc., which are donated by employees, to a non-profit charitable organization called “The Beautiful Store”.

In addition to this charity program, Fasoo held various special events, such as ‘Fasoo Restaurant’ with the concept of sharing foods made by each department, ‘Fasoo Wanna B” to select the best barista/bartender, and “Best Employees of the Year” who were given a prize based on nominations from their colleagues due to their dedication and cooperation with others.

POSCO selects Fasoo to build their security infrastructure with DRM solution
Fasoo is building an infrastructure for document security to share documents more safely and effectively within POSCO and its 24 affiliated companies both domestically and internationally including POSCO E&C, POSCO Engineering, POSCO Research Institute, and etc.

POSCO currently has over 50 affiliated companies including 21 international corporations in the US, China, Japan, Australia, South Asia, etc., and was named as the most competitive steelmaker in the world for the second consecutive year by WSD (World Steel Dynamics).

Since last year, they have considered several security systems for preventing possible security breaches. Fasoo’s DRM solution has been selected as one of those essential security systems and POSCO will deploy FSN (Fasoo Secure Node) for securing documents created on a PC and FSE (Fasoo Secure Exchange) for securing confidential documents sent to external parties via email, to their affiliated companies.

POSCO has been facing problems caused by restrictive sharing of information due to security concerns. By implementing a document security infrastructure, it will improve work efficiency as well as solve security issues such as sensitive data leakage when employees are creating and sharing documents.

Fasoo is expecting to deploy these DRM solutions to the remaining affiliated companies after successful implementation to 19 domestic & 5 overseas offices.

David Anastasi Writes New Doc & Data Security Steward Blog

New Doc & Data Security Steward BlogDave Anastasi, CEO of eDocument Sciences, had a debut article in a new blog called Doc & Data Security Steward for The Imaging Channel, an online and printed resource for the print and imaging industry that brings together the leading market information, business concepts, strategies, and people in managed print.

In this blog, Dave is looking at more than just data and document security from a technical viewpoint.  Implementing technology is important, but if these tools aren’t aligned with the people and processes inside an organization, nothing will work.

I can have the most sophisticated alarm system in the world, but if I forget to turn it on or close my front door, it’s useless.  It’s the same in businesses.  Teaching people that they must address all of these elements to develop and maintain a secure environment is very important.  Security is only as good as the people using it.

David Anastasi Writes December 2011 Article on Document, Data Security

Document, Data SecurityThe December 2011 issue of ENX Magazine features an article titled “Document, Data Security: Internal Controls, Data Governance, and Measuring & Managing Risk” written by Dave Anastasi, CEO of eDocument Sciences.  This is the second in a series of articles where Dave looks at how data and document security are paramount concerns for all organizations of any size. 

Below is the article in its entirety.

In my first article (November) of the Document, Data Security: “Turning Risks Into Opportunities” series, the initial goal was to bring high level awareness to the threats and opportunities that you and your customers face when it comes to protecting their and your most valuable asset, information.

Having looked at the high level risks and market opportunities in the first article, this month’s article will focus on three key areas (listed below) that individual organizations and their leaders (Public, Private, Government, Educational, and Non-Profit) are all responsible for with the objective of one important outcome; focusing on People, Processes and Technology ultimately creating a Control Conscience Corporate Culture™ (4 C’s). Also, then looking at creating a strategy that is highly effective, scalable and sustainable consistently creating strong value (financial, services and solutions) for its shareholders and/or constituents. Anything that impedes an organization from doing so negatively impacts the value that it provides.

David Anastasi Writes Monthly Article for ENX Magazine

Dave AnastasiThe November 2011 issue of ENX Magazine features an article titled “Document, Data Security: Turning Risks Into Opportunities” written by Dave Anastasi, CEO of eDocument Sciences.

This is the first in a series of articles where Dave looks at how data and document security are paramount concerns for all organizations of any size.  Whether you are a private or public company, a non-profit or government entity, securing your confidential and sensitive information is critical to your business.  Without that, you lose trust and credibility with your suppliers, partners and customers.  Without trust, your business may cease to exist.

Almost everyday you hear about data breaches that affect small and large organizations alike.  It doesn’t matter if you are Sony, the US government or a local accountant.  Losing critical information can have a devastating effect on your business.  Addressing the problem puts you in the driver’s seat rather than worrying about who is next.
