Vaultize (www.vaultize.com), the enterprise file security leader has been named in the list of Top 20 BYOD Solution Providers of 2015 alongside IBM (Fiberlink), VMWare (Airwatch), MobileIron and Good. The positioning is based on Vaultize’s capabilities in Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS), mobile collaboration and VPN-free anywhere access with built-in Digital Rights Management (DRM, aka Information Rights Management or IRM). Vaultize follows information-centric approach where security of corporate content is the focus, and not the control on end-user device. We ensure that end-users get to access, use and share the corporate contents seamlessly from any device they like and from anywhere – an essense of BYOD. For IT departments of companies attempting to embrace BYOD culture, the employees’ desire to access, share and collaborate on corporate files is a daunting file security challenge. A successful BYOD policy requires a paradigm shift by the enterprise. One must focus on protecting corporate data, and not the device. With Vaultize you get the end-to-end file security. The files are protected at the source itself and stay protected throughout the life-cycle – irrespective of the device being used by employees. Digital Rights Management (DRM), Mobile Content Management (MCM) together with multi-dimensional access rights for data loss prevention – all combined in our file security platform result is unmatched security and protection. Vaultize is serving leading BFSI (banks, financial services and insurance), media, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, education and governments worldwide to protect their sensitive data without compromising the end-user experience. Vaultize takes an information-centric (or document-centric) approach to information security by ensuring that corporate corporate information and data always stays in control of IT. It allows end-users to securely create, access, edit, annotate and share documents irrespective of where they are (within as well as beyond the corporate fence) and independent of the device they use (laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet) – whether managed or unmanaged – just like any consumer solution. Hence, with Vaultize, productivity, efficiency, security and control go hand-in-hand. Vaultize DRM allows the document owner (and the corporate IT) to control the use of shared documents and manage (and even revoke) the permissions to open, view, download, print, copy-paste, forward and edit those documents. In addition to the protection, the embedded DRM enables detailed tracking and auditing of shared files wherever they go – independent of location, device and user. Combined with built-in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and DRM capabilities, Vaultize platform helps enterprises embrace BYOD even in highly regulated and security-conscious verticals, including Fortune 500s.

ring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) came to the
forefront grabbing the opportunity to greater
innovation, better work-life balance and
improved productivity. The system not only granted
the use of personal devices in the organization premises
but also facilitated the access to official network and
applications. This program stood promising in terms
of cost-savings and also brought in one of the major
advantages of supporting a mobile and cloud-focused
strategy. Not to mention, employees’ happiness topped
the list as BYOD allowed them to work on their own
devices.
Challenges like employee privacy concerns,
company security threats, data security, losing hardware
control, data compliance and ownership and many
more detected out of the BYOD machinery tampered
this growing trend of business IT. Various companies
emerged as a prospect to tackle these issues of BYOD
with their innovative and best-of-breed solutions and
services.
In the last few months, a distinguished panel
comprising of CEOs, CIOs, VCs, analysts including
CIO Review editorial board decided the top companies
that primarily serve the BYOD sector, and shortlisted
the ones that are at the forefront of tackling challenges
faced in the industry.
In the selection process, they looked at the
vendors’ capability to fulfill the needs of buyers with
BYOD solutions and consulting services that support
core BYOD administration for the sector. Also, they
evaluated the vendors’ support through the integration
of latest technologies into their system.

T
oday, more and more enterpris-
es are embracing the concept
of “Bring Your Own Device”
(BYOD), owing to its potential to bring
increased productivity and connectivity
across the organization. However, the
trend is not devoid of challenges. For in-
stance, security is a key concern related
to mobile adoption in the enterprise.
Also, BYOD carries with it a whole host
of compliance concerns. With US head-
quarter in New York, Vaultize provides a
platform for enterprise file sync & share
(EFSS), VPN-free anywhere access and
mobile collaboration with built-in Digi-
tal Rights Management (DRM aka IRM),
Mobile Content Management (MCM)
and Data Protection (endpoint backup,
encryption and wiping) capabilities. In
today’s world of mobility, “We help en-
terprise IT mitigate security, data loss
and compliance risks by giving “infor-
mation-centric” end-to-end security,
privacy and control of corporate data.
With the mobile-first user experience,
employees get to access, edit, sync,
share and control corporate data from
anywhere and on any device,” says
Anand A. Kekre, CEO and Co-found-
er, Vaultize.
Vaultize offers solutions which form
a crucial part of an enterprise’s
BYOD approach. “We fa-
cilitate MCM through data
access rights. This allows
corporate IT to prevent
data loss by controlling
what users can do with
data on their mobile
devices,” adds Kekre.
The company allows
granular control over
copy-paste of content or files,
sharing or opening in third-
party mobile applications,
printing, email attachments.
This is possible through Vaultize's policy
driven control over the mobile app and
its built-in document editor. Also, Vault-
ize’s Mobile Data Containerization tech-
nology ensures that data is stored in a
secure container on mobile devices that
facilitates secure BYOD. The container is
always kept encrypted to protect it from
unauthorized access with the ability for
IT to securely wipe its contents in case
a device is lost or user leaves the organi-
zation. Geo and IP fencing capabilities
further protect the contents by wiping
the container when the device leaves a
pre-defined geography or IP range. All
this together with AES-256 encryption of
in-transit data provides unmatched end-
to-end security. “Apart from the security
components, we provide many end-user
features like flexible group collaboration
with selective folders, automatic con-
version of attachments to links through
Outlook plugin and upload permissions
to third-party, that increases usa-
bility and productivity,” adds
Kekre.
“We take an informa-
tion-centric approach to
end to end security by
ensuring that corporate
information and data
always stays in
control of IT.
They enhance
the security
of corporate
documents by
embedding the
digital rights
management with-
in the documents
themselves,” says
Kekre. “The files
shared across corpo-
rate fence are DRM
encrypted such that
they are only usable by the authorized
recipients and within the authorized en-
vironment.”
The uniqueness of solutions, along
with their client centric approach helps
Vaultize to stand out from the rest. The
case of DDB Mudra Group, the leader
in integrated marketing and communica-
tions and services network, testimonies
this fact. The enterprise has been using
a traditional on-premise solution for file
sharing and data protection. Because of
the tremendous challenges with the tradi-
tional approach, there was a need for a so-
lution that could not only address the data
loss and security issues but could seam-
lessly fit their BYOD strategy. Selecting
Vaultize to support its data protection and
mobility strategy, DDB benefitted from
next generation cloud-architected plat-
form for mobile collaboration, endpoint
data protection, and secure file sharing
& sync. Vaultize Enterprise Platform en-
sured that DDB Mudra Group gets lower
TCO with faster ROI.
Going forward, Vaultize is planning
to set its foot in Europe and Australia/
New Zealand. In addition, the company
is planning to launch more services built
around DRM and MCM.

A Proactive Approach towards BYOD
We follow information-centric
approach where security
of corporate content is the
focus, and not the control on
end-user device. We ensure
that end-users get to access,
use and share the corporate
contents seamlessly from
any device they like and from
anywhere
