Security
Management Software For Real Estate Agencies
Security management software protects against data theft and data loss as well as the introduction of unauthorized applications on workstations in branch offices. Real Estate agencies must deal with the challenges of controlling employee activities and managing the data held at branch locations from a central IT control point. As agents are out showing or selling properties, they are reliant upon mobile devices, such as PDAs, laptops, USB keys, etc., which if left unmanaged can be used or targeted in the theft or loss of confidential information. Sales agents walk in and out the door on a regular basis and as such, agencies must have central visibility and control of all corporate endpoints to ensure that proper configurations and patch levels are enforced.
With employees working out of numerous branch offices, and high turnover rates amongst the sales agents, confidential data is at risk, such as:
- Customer databases
- Bottom line price a vendor will accept for their property
- Agency rates agreed with vendors
- And much more
All of this sensitive information is of significant worth if a sales agent were to take it with them to their next agency. And with the many branch offices, personal printers and mobile devices, as well as employees downloading unauthorized applications onto workstations, there are many opportunities for malware to enter and proliferate throughout the network, which could disrupt or bring down business-critical databases and property locator tools.
