Secure it
Easy helps PC
administrators keep data safe from unauthorized use of portable USB storage
devices
21. February 2007, The
software company CoSoSys announces
the release of the Secure it Easy
endpoint security software for Windows Vista.
According to Gartner
Research, most security breaches do not originate from
external hackers, viruses or worms, but from employees who commit more than
70% of unauthorized access to information systems.
Most PC users are still not
aware of the risks posed by USB Flash Drives, digital cameras or portable
music devices and therefore have not taken any precautions to secure their
PCs.
Any portable storage device
poses a threat to notebooks, desktop PCs and networks. A disgruntled
employee that is tempted to smuggle company data out of the office or
somebody that involuntarily carries virus-infected files to the office, can
now be stopped.
To guard a PC from such risk
Secure it Easy acts as a protective layer between the protected PC and the
portable storage device. Only devices that have been authorized by the PC's
administrator can be used to transfer data to and from the PC. Such a
device is classified as a "TrustedDevice". All other devices are
automatically blocked from reading or writing data.
As an additional feature,
the administrator can receive notification e-mails when unauthorized devices
have been connected to PCs somewhere within his infrastructure. This helps
find intruders and possible security breaches.
Optionally, the data stored
on the portable storage devices can be protected with
Carry it Easy +Plus software, which
resides on the portable device itself. This secures your data with 128 bit
AES encryption. In case of lost or stolen devices, your data remains
secure.
Secure it Easy is compatible
with Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000. The application user
interface is available in English, German and French.
A Secure it Easy license is
available for US$ 44.95 per installation. Volume licenses for companies are
available. The application is available for download as 30-day trial
version at www.cososys.com.
With the release of Secure
it Easy, CoSoSys expands its product portfolio of software for the safe and
convenient use of portable storage devices.
