By leveraging Bitglass' Omni multiprotocol proxies, the firm was able to secure data in transit and on all endpoints. The deployment required no configuration, and users simply added their corporate email accounts to the native email clients of their BYOD devices. The Bitglass data protection engine dynamically tracked, encrypted, redacted, and blocked data. When the engine detected PHI, DLP policies were applied to limit leakage. The organization also used Bitglass' visibility, analytics, and patented selective wipe capabilities. Read More Log in to view content
