(Williams Martini Racing Team)
The Williams Martini Racing Team along with Williams
Advanced Engineering have confirmed a new technical IT partnership with DTEX
Systems.
The company are a leading provider of global security
software. The new deal will see the use of DTEX Auditing software throughout
Williams’ business interests. Discussing the new partnership, IT Director at
Williams, Graeme Hackland stated:
‘Whilst
keeping your Formula One innovation away from your competitors has always been
important, it is since we created the Williams Advanced Engineering division
that protecting this IP has become even more critical. When you are entrusted
with multiple customers’ data, proactive auditing of how data is handled
becomes critical to prevent data loss.’
Mr Hackland went on to say:
‘A new
IT security model was required and with the Dtex software tools, our Formula
One data and Williams Advanced Engineering customer data is now fully auditable
and encourages data owners to take accountability for their data.
Dtex were
selected by Williams for their easy to install, low footprint micro-agent and
comprehensive reporting capability for data use at rest, in motion or being
printed; application and software license tracking and most importantly for the
ability to baseline user profiles and then identify abnormal behaviour.’
DTEX Chief Executive Officer Mohan Koo stated:
‘Williams
is a very special partnership for Dtex - not just for the prestige associated
with one of the most decorated teams in sporting history, but also because
Williams Advanced Engineering has harnessed the high value IP created by
Formula One and applied it to real-world technology requirements.
For this
reason, Williams provides a fantastic showcase for Dtex to demonstrate how IP
protection can be achieved in a highly competitive environment, where
restrictive security controls would stifle innovation.’
