Econocom-Osiatis and Guidance Software, (NASDAQ:GUID), the World Leader in Digital Investigations™, announced today delivery of a full range of best-in-class endpoint security and incident response products and services to the French market. EnCase products extend the Econocom-Osiatis portfolio to identify threats that would otherwise go unnoticed, and to quickly perform incident response and recovery.

With 7,000 employees, Econocom-Osiatis is a leading provider of IT and telecom services for enterprises. It designs, implements and operates innovative, efficient, cost-effective solutions to speed up the digital transformation.

Through the relationship with Guidance Software, Econocom-Osiatis will offer EnCase security products in France. EnCase is the global standard in digital investigations for security and incident response, enabling companies of all sizes to quickly identify and mitigate security compromises, conduct internal investigations, and locate errant sensitive data across all endpoints including laptops and servers.

“Working with Guidance Software will enable us to combine the EnCase solution with the state-of-the-art expertise of our “SIRT, Security Response Team.” In line with the ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information) approach, we are thus better placed to monitor our clients’ security levels and ensure responsive, efficient resolution of security incidents. Furthermore, the results produced by the solution have been used as evidence by a number of courts of law,” said Dominique Mouillier, IT Transformation & Consulting Business Unit Director for Econocom-Osiatis.

According to a recent SANS Institute survey sponsored by Guidance Software, nearly half of all organizations are operating under the assumption that they have been compromised. Working together, Econocom-Osiatis and Guidance Software help organizations quickly respond to attacks within the first hours and days of a breach, to contain the damage and collect evidence about the attack. Armed with EnCase products, Econocom-Osiatis’ trained security specialists have the ability to effectively respond to any security breach quickly to limit the spread of damage within the network.

“This new relationship enables Guidance Software to combine the power of the EnCase security products with the Econocom-Osiatis experts to serve customers throughout France. We can immediately deliver products and services that effectively arm security teams the to meet the challenges of today’s security breaches,” said Rafik Hajim, Director Central, Eastern, Southern Europe, Middle East & North Africa for Guidance Software.
