Lepide Data Security Platform 21.1 Now Scales Better Than Any Other Solution in the Market


Lepide Logo

Lepide

We can quickly build you a personalized plan on how to roll the solution out based upon what you would like to achieve first, ultimately resulting in a quicker time to value (and making the life of our engineers super easy in the process). It doesn’t get any better than that.

Over the years, Lepide have come to understand the challenges customers are experiencing with other Data Security Platforms, and have taken it all on board. With the Lepide Data Security Platform 21.1, Lepide decided to completely overhaul how their solution scales, to better serve their customers’ needs.

In organizations that have a large number of unstructured data stores, security teams have really struggled with how other solutions on the market scale. Again and again the team at Lepide would hear phrases like, “it just doesn’t scale,” “it requires too many resources,” and “performance starts degrading and the alerts are too slow.”

To combat this, Lepide have now designed a “functionality orientated” architecture, meaning customers can apply isolated resources directly to the area of risk or focus at that time. This means, as your data centric security or access governance project evolves, the customer’s solution can too!

The benefits include:

  • Priority based scaling: Ensures customers have a way of applying the resources to the functionality that solves the biggest problem, whether it is better understanding who has excessive privileges, identifying ransomware attacks, detecting and preventing data breaches and incidents, or spotting privilege abuse in motion.
  • Affordable implementation costs: By focusing specifically on the area that matters the most in order of priority, customers won’t need to commit to heavy infrastructural costs upfront in order to deploy the whole solution. Lepide DSP was already the most lightweight Data Security Platform on the market, now the team at Lepide have made it even more affordable!

“Being able to prioritize the functionality that can solve the biggest problems for you is great news for all of us,” says Philip Robinson, Head of Marketing at Lepide. “It means we can quickly build you a personalized plan on how to roll the solution out based upon what you would like to achieve first, ultimately resulting in a quicker time to value (and making the life of our engineers super easy in the process). It doesn’t get any better than that.”

In addition to the implementation of enterprise scalability, the Lepide Data Security Platform 21.1 enables security teams to report on open AWS S3 open buckets, report on permissions in OneDrive and automatically discover open shares.

New Video Doorbell Expands User’s View While Eliminating False Alerts


Photo of text image notification from Guardian Protection's new Video Doorbell Pro

Guardian’s new Video Doorbell Pro texts alerts and has an expanded vertical view that captures a visual all the way to the doorstep or welcome mat.

“When answering the doorbell remotely, as many people now do, the Pro lets you touch a button on your smartphone to have the garage door go up or the front door unlock and allow your visitor entry without having to physically answer the door.”

Guardian Protection has launched a new product named “Video Doorbell Pro” which it says will eliminate frustrations often experienced with standard video doorbell cameras. The “Pro”, available to new and existing customers, has a vertically expanded field of view, video analytics that heighten people detection – including detection of those who lurk outside and don’t touch the doorbell – plus an advanced, high dynamic range that sharpens views both day and night.    

According to Vice President of Marketing Kevin Bish, the new Video Doorbell Pro enhances the overall smart home security experience with its higher 1440-x1920 resolution, increased 3,000 clips-per-month video storage, and ability to seamlessly interface with the other components in Guardian’s smart home security system.

Bish commented, “When answering the doorbell remotely, as many people now do, the Pro lets you touch a button on your smartphone to have the garage door go up or the front door unlock and allow your visitor entry without having to physically answer the door.” He added, “And because it focuses on alerting users to the presence of people, annoying notifications caused by the detection of cars and animals are largely eliminated. It’s a game changer and we’re proud to be able to install it in the homes of customers where its convenience can be fully enjoyed.”

In addition to an expanded vertical view allowing a homeowner to see the package that’s been delivered to the doorstep or welcome mat outside their door, the Pro lets users electronically “paint” a customized ground zone in any shape outlining the specific areas they want it to monitor, such as a driveway, steps to a porch, garden area, etc. When activity is detected, a notification is sent within seconds to the homeowner, and then live video can be viewed on the Guardian mobile App or a computer, whichever is preferred.

Other cutting-edge features of the new Video Doorbell Pro include a built-in battery heater that ensures operation in very cold weather, dual-band 5GHz and 2.4GHz to accommodate variables in Wi-Fi service, and two-way seamless audio allowing users to talk and listen at the same time, unlike the old walkie-talkie functionality of other video doorbells.

“Our mission is to make homes and businesses safer, smarter, and more connected for the people who live and work there, and our Video Doorbell Pro is just another way that we are accomplishing that mission,” said Bish.

Guardian offers the Video Doorbell Pro as an add-on to its monitored smart home security systems in all regions that it serves and through its network of authorized dealers.
