South Korea based NetID – an Internet Solutions company is all set to focus its efforts towards showcasing its ‘ClouDoc’ at the upcoming CommunicAsia 2015, happening between June 2-5, 2015 in Singapore.
As part of its participation, the company is set to focus on interacting with its potential customers and stakeholders, highlighting its cloud solutions.
Its ‘ClouDoc’ solution realizes network separation environment and delivers enhanced work efficiency by supporting Smartwork within an organization. The company has announced that, Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education introduced network separation environment as one of the ways of supporting safe, happy schools. That is to establish safe education environment by protecting student personal information and important information from intellectual cyber attack. Especially Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education could enhance user convenience and security strengthening effect through white list based internet interruption policy.
Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education needed a method to manage their work systematically and prevent information leakage as outsourced personnel were changing frequently. They had reviewed physical network separation to manage outsourced personnel PC. But they decided to construct logical network separation in need of protection for student personal information and internal information about education and administration stored in PC or the system.
Inchon Office of Education wanted network separation environment adopting a Cloud storage concept. They desired to realize the environment to access information safely for work execution at the outside as well as to protect important information from hacking. Necessary was a method to store data in the central storage and to connect with the internet when accessing the data.
Incheon Office of Education searched for the system optimized for the Office of Education work with the assembly of Electronic Document Management System (ECM), Document Centralization, and Desk Top Virtualization (VDI). As the Incheon Office of Education had already been equipped with work management system and electronic payment system, they mainly reviewed the products enabling to realize white list based internet contact permission/interruption policy.
Incheon Office of Education decided that ‘NetworkLock’ function provided by NetID ‘ClouDoc’ could meet all network separation requirements. NetworkLock is normally away from internet connection and waiting for work network connection. When contacting the internet site permitted by the manager, NetworkLock functions to connect to the internet.
Officer Kyo Kwon Jin made clear that, “NetworkLock function was a core function to help realized optimized network separation environment for Incheon Office of Education, requiring collaboration through internet connection with specific government organizations related. While we maintained almost similar environment to existing work using a ClouDoc NetworkLock function, we could accomplish network separation reformation.”
Supporting Smartwork environment as well as ensuring security
Incheon Office of Education substantially obtained the effect of network separation during reorganization after the inauguration of new superintendent of education. As important information was stored in individual staff’s PCs in the existing environment and such information was not managed properly, reorganization would have required considerable time and efforts to rearrange information management system.
Officer Kyo Kwon Jin explained that, “AS network separation has proceeded based on Cloud storage, and we could access necessary information whenever and wherever only with our own accounts, we could realize Smartwork environment. As an auditor or school inspector, who goes on frequent business trip to educational institutions, can do his task for himself at a school site, and he can finish his task with reduction in travel time, productivity and job satisfaction have increased.”
“Incheon Office of Education killed two rabbits-productivity and security-with the environment optimized network separation.”
The Impact of ClouDoc
As user inconvenience increases under general network separation environments, field claims tend to congest. As network separation using ClouDoc allowed work process under the environment almost same as the existing work and internet contact was made rapidly, security was reinforced without affecting productivity.
