What are the unique benefits of e-locker

1. No additional hardware needed (only need to install Curtain e-locker on servers and users' workstations) 
2. To system administrators, Curtain e-locker is easy to implement. To users, it is easy to use. To management, they do not need to worry about data leakage anymore. 
3. We don't encrypt files in server-side. So whatever reason they want to remove Curtain Protection in the future, they can simply uninstall Curtain Server Plug-in. 
4. Users can still use emails, Internet, etc. Curtain e-locker only controls files in Protected Zone.

Does e-Locker affect performance of workstations? What are the system requirements?

How can e-Locker handle documents in non-Protected Zone?

Admin can enableProtect First Draft feature for applications of choice. It means that the selected applications (e.g. MS Excel) can be ONLY used under Curtain Protection. In this example, when users try to launch non-Protected Excel, the Excel will be launched under Curtain Protection automatically. All new Excel documents can be only saved to Protected Zone (that is why the function is called "Protect First Draft"). 

When users try to open non-Protected documents, the documents will be automatically opened in Protected application. If users do modifications to those files, they can only save the files to Protected Zone. Or, users can simply copy them to Protected Zone by Copy-and-Paste or Drag-and-Drop before editing the files. 

Does WiderWorld DLP support multi-language?

Both e-Locker and Monguard r supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. We can support more languages upon request.

Steps to switch language in Mongaurd / e-Locker Client:
1. Launch Client Application
2. Click "View > Language" in the menu and select a Language.



Steps to switch language in Curtain Admin:
1. In e-Locker / Monguard Admin
2. Click "Language" in the menu and select a Language. 

Does WiderWorld DLP support Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)?

Yes, both e-Locker and Monguard supports VPN. When users are out of office, they can connect to corporate network through VPN. For accessing Protected share folder, Curtain Client must be installed in the users' workstations or notebooks. It is just the same as accessing Protected share folder in office environment. 

 
Some companies may use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign IP address of users' workstations. Moreover, some users may have rights to change hostname of their workstations. Both approaches do not affect Curtain e-locker protection. When Curtain Client has been installed on user's workstation, a unique token will be generated for that workstation. This unique token is used for communication between Curtain Admin and Curtain Client of that workstation. Therefore, control policy for the workstation will not be affected even when IP address/hostname is changed. 

USB port and Internet access are already blocked in the company. Do we still need to use WiderWorld DLP?

Yes, blocking USB port and Internet access can reduce the risk of data leakage. However, there are so many ways for sending information out. For example: 

  • Print 
  • Print-screen or Capture-screen software 
  • Copy and Paste 
  • EmailWi-Fi or Bluetooth (using mobile phone as hotspot) 
  • Skype, Whatsapp, WeChat 
  • and the list goes on... 

Some companies are trying to block all channels to prevent data leakage. However, it is difficult for system administrators to setup and maintain so many controls. Moreover, it is inconvenient for end-users to work without email, Internet, whatsapp, and USB nowadays. 
 
WiderWorld e-Locker and Monguard brougt minimap impact to user daily activities while security is maintained. Curtain e-locker makes a good balance between convenience and security.,
