Data Security Systems Solutions Joins IBM Information Governance Council

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, October 6, 2010 -- Data Security Systems Solutions, a leader in providing security and authentication solutions for all public and private organizations, today announced it has joined the Information Governance Council. The group was formed by IBM in 2005 along with dozens of leading corporations, institutions and technology solution providers in a global effort to develop a "blueprint" of common solutions for challenges that apply to security, privacy, trust and corporate compliance issues.

Information Governance is the process by which companies govern appropriate access to their critical data by measuring operational risk and controlling security exposures. The Information Governance Council is working to redefine the management of information governance policy, the impact of policy on business processes and practices, and the enforcement of policy in IT infrastructure, information management and organizational behavior. Members of the Council are collaborating on ways to address these issues using solutions and business concepts from IBM and its business partners.

"The goal of the Information Governance Council is to address one of the biggest issues for businesses today - managing and controlling the mountains of data that reside within companies," said Steven Adler, chair of the Information Governance Council and program director, IBM data governance solutions. "Data Security Systems Solutions (DS3) is a welcomed addition to the Council as their technology on user authentication, data security and encryption is highly relevant to address concerns of data risk and compliance".

Data Security Systems Solutions (DS3) provides a wide range of products and services to address a wide variety of rising security risks and cyber threats. Its authentication server is a high-performance, high-availability security appliance to carry out large-scale end-to-end user authentication, authorization of sensitive and high-value transactions, and protection of application data through OTP (One-Time Password) and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) cryptographic technologies. Enterprises can enjoy unmatched flexibility and convenience by implementing hardware or software-based authentication.

"We are delighted to be working with IBM and the rest of the Information Governance Council to help enterprises overcome and mitigate security challenges," said Tan Teik Guan, Chief Executive Officer at Data Security Systems Solutions (DS3). "In view of large-scale targeted attacks that affected many organizations in recent years, enterprises face an uphill task to remain agile and stay ahead of these threats. With DS3, businesses can operate with a peace of mind amidst an ever-changing threat landscape."

Data Security Systems Solutions (DS3) will dedicate efforts to the IBM Information Governance Council to equip enterprises with cutting-edge solutions to safeguard their valuable assets. A comprehensive plan is critical for enterprises to provide convenience and accessibility for their employees and customers without compromising on security. Data Security Systems Solutions (DS3) will join other market-leading organizations to shape the data governance framework that will equip enterprises to lead in the future.
