R&S®Trusted Gate - Teams Express Solution from Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity offers complete data control in Microsoft® Teams™ within 24 hours

Due to the current situation, the majority of users work in the home office and many government agencies and companies have switched to Microsoft® Teams™ within a very short time. To support organizations that have security concerns, IT security expert Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity has responded by offering its R&S Trusted Gate - Teams Express Solution, a simple and quickly available cloud security solution for Microsoft® Teams™. Via remote maintenance, R&S Trusted Gate can be used within 24 hours and guarantees secure worldwide collaboration.

R&S Trusted Gate - Teams Express Solution provides secure processing of sensitive data in Microsoft® TeamsTM. The data that is worthy of protection is encrypted and fragmented and stored in the company's own data center or at various cloud providers or distributed. While at the same time the cooperation functionalities of Microsoft® TeamsTM are preserved. The product can be configured quickly and is usually ready for use within 24 hours for all users in an organization. Secure worldwide collaboration is then also guaranteed when working from the home office.

The encryption and distributed storage of documents, which runs unnoticed by the user in the background, supports the retention of existing workflows. Thanks to its easy configuration and fast availability, R&S Trusted Gate - Teams Express Solution is also suitable for smaller installations and is available within the user's own Microsoft subscription.

Each time files are uploaded to Microsoft® TeamsTM, a virtual copy of the confidential documents is created without the data to be protected. The file contains only filterable metadata such as keywords or data classifications. Microsoft® SharePoint OnlineTM, OneDriveTM for Business and other applications can continue to work transparently with the virtual files without gaining access to the confidential content. This allows authorized users to maintain their usual workflows without storing the content of data in the public cloud. With the encrypted and fragmented original data, the customer can decide where to store it. This gives him full control over his data. Only when the confidential documents are downloaded by authorized users is their content transparently decrypted. With R&S Trusted Gate, customers can easily comply with national data protection guidelines even in the current situation.

The R&S Trusted Gate product family from Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity is a cloud security solution that consistently implements a data-centric approach. R&S Trusted Gate can be seamlessly integrated into the storage systems of common public clouds such as Microsoft® Azure™, Google, AWS and collaboration tools such as Microsoft® 365™ and SharePoint™, ensuring maximum security and control when using these platforms. Legal requirements and compliance rules can also be easily implemented in global cloud environments. R&S Trusted Gate runs transparently in existing applications so that workflows remain unchanged. A special search function enables secure full text searches even in encrypted documents.

There will also be a webinar on June 9, 2020 at 2 p.m. on the topic of "Microsoft® Teams™ and Data Security - Keep control of your data while taking advantage of the cloud".
