NTT extends security monitoring to China

TOKYO -- NTT Communications Corp. has extended to China a service that's designed to prevent sensitive corporate information from being accidentally leaked to outsiders.

The service, which is offered alongside the Tokyo-based company's server monitoring and antivirus services, tracks networks and end-user PCs for compliance with corporate security guidelines. If an employee breaches a security policy, a pop-up warning will appear on his system.

NTT Communications, a subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp., said the compliance-monitoring service is also available in Japan and will soon be launched in other countries in Asia, Europe and North America.
