Latest upgrade plugs additional channels of corporate data leakage by
controlling and auditing user access to printers and to Palm OS data syncs
SAN RAMON, Calif., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- DeviceLock, Inc., a
worldwide leader in endpoint device control security, today announced the
release of DeviceLock(R) 6.3. DeviceLock controls and audits activity at
all plug-and-play ports and drives, and via removable devices. Now with
version 6.3, it offers granular user access control, auditing and shadowing
for local, network and virtual printers, as well as local sync object
filtering for any Palm(R) OS based smartphones and PDAs.
DeviceLock will be demonstrating its latest software technology at this
week's RSA Conference in San Francisco in booth #2245.
Currently deployed on millions of computers worldwide, DeviceLock
delivers comprehensive user access control for a complete range of
peripheral devices and local ports. This added layer of protection prevents
employees from using their corporate and personal mobile computing
resources to extract valued information beyond the scope of their jobs and
outside the guidelines of IT security policy.
DeviceLock 6.3 allows security administrators to centrally define
permissions-based control and audit of user access to any local, network,
and virtual printers regardless of how they connect to the PC including any
non- USB connections. Printing events are logged, centrally collected,
stored into a database, and audited. In addition, full copies of any
printed documents can be shadowed for centralized reviewing in a built-in
graphical viewer.
"Printing from corporate computers can not be overlooked as a means for
insiders to leak protected data from a network. Insiders can just walk away
with hardcopy documents or disguise them in a .pdf file," explains Ashot
Oganesyan, DeviceLock's chief technology officer. "DeviceLock 6.3 is the
first product on the market that puts local printing under the strict
control of corporate security administration."
DeviceLock 6.3 also features a patent-pending local sync filtering
technology allowing IT administrators to set permissions for different
objects (pictures, contacts, e-mails, etc.) transferring to/from PDAs
running Palm OS. "As more and more users connect their own personal mobile
devices to corporate networks, local sync communications are attracting the
attention of security and information risk managers as a potentially
dangerous avenue of corporate data leakage that is poorly controlled and
too often overlooked," said Scott Crawford, research director with
Enterprise Management Associates. "Building granular object-based filtering
on top of device/port access controls that use network application
protocols results in solid, multi-layer protection from data leakage and
corporate network infiltration by malware via the local ports of
distributed computers."
Featuring flexible centralized management, natively integrated with
Microsoft Active Directory(R), DeviceLock enables security administrators
to precisely control, online monitor, shadow-copy, log, and analyze
end-user access to any type of peripheral devices and local ports on
corporate computers, as well as automatically block operations of USB and
PS/2 hardware keyloggers.
DeviceLock 6.3 is immediately available. Prices begin at $42 (US) for a
single-user license or $9,000 for managing 1,000 computers. Discounts are
available for multi-user licenses and for Educational Institutions. A free,
fully functional demo is available for download at
