| Net protection from the inside - out A great deal of time and money have been spent by organizations putting the proper safeguards in place to protect against external threats; however, according to a 2005 FBI Computer Crime Survey, 44 percent of organizations have reported network intrusions from within their own organizations. Today, GFI is announcing GFI EndPointSecurity. This solution will provide IT administrators with granular, network-wide controls for portable storage devices, removable media and a wide range of consumer electronic devices, which if not managed properly, can wreak havoc to network security and reduce employee productivity. This centrally managed solution will provide the deepest level of management oversight than currently exists on the market today. With EndPointSecurity, security administrators can provide read, write or both access capabilities to groups or individual users for file-based media, such as, CD/DVD-ROMs and diskettes as well as block-based media operated through universal serial bus (USB), Bluetooth, Firewire and Wi-Fi connections. In addition, administrators have the ability to monitor the use of a removable device and even block access if the activity is suspected of compromising the integrity of corporate data or the security of the network. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
