GFI Software has announced the release of the latest
version of GFI End Point Security, a solution that helps to control
the use of portable storage devices – such as iPods, flash drives,
USB sticks and PDAs – on the network and prevent the leakage or
theft of sensitive data and malware uploads. The latest version of
GFI EndPoint Security comes with advanced access control
functionality and a whitelist/blacklist feature to limit usage of
portable devices to those only approved by the company.
The new version ships with a number of new and improved
features including advanced access control that allows the
blocking of a range of device classes, as well as blocking file
transfers by file extension, by physical port and by device ID.
Administrators can also use a device whitelist and blacklist
to allow only company-approved devices and block all
others. Furthermore, temporary access can be granted to
users for a device (or group of devices) on a particular
computer for a particular timeframe.
“At GFI we are striving to create more awareness on this issue
and our goal with GFI EndPointSecurity 4 is to help administrators
to reduce the level of risk,” Andre Muscat, Director of Engineering
at GFI, said. “Our main message is that the cost to take the
necessary action to manage risk is much less than the costs involved
reacting to a particular incident. An endpoint security solution
such as GFI EndPointSecurity product is a must in today’s highly
networked corporate environment. V4 gives administrators even
deeper granular control over device usage on the
network to reduce the possible repercussions of the unauthorised use
of these consumer devices,” he added.
