Senforce Now Shipping Endpoint Security Suite 3.2 with New Removable Storage Policy Controls; Senforce ESS 3.2 Solves Data Security Issues from Multiple Endpoint Threats

Business Wire, August 28, 2006

DRAPER, Utah -- Senforce Technologies(R), Inc., the leader in endpoint security software, today is shipping its Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) version 3.2. Senforce is upgrading its current customers' endpoint security management solution with enhanced removable storage security that monitors and/or prevents intentional or inadvertent transmission of data to and from endpoints to removable storage devices.

Through ESS 3.2, Senforce focuses on securing PCs, laptops and tablet PCs (endpoints) by providing a comprehensive, 360-degree view of endpoint security management. The suite gives IT and security administrators the ability to secure and control data in motion as it moves in and out of an organization, and delivers this through centralized management functionality to create, distribute and enforce security policies on endpoint devices.

The addition of removable storage security to its existing best-in-class wireless security, advanced firewall, endpoint integrity, Location-Aware(TM), data security and centralized management and reporting capabilities increases IT departments' control over users' endpoint devices, without compromising their productivity.

Technicolor has been bringing color to motion pictures for 90 years, and has vastly expanded upon its scope and vision. Today, the company is the trusted steward of entertainment, game and software developers' content from VHS and DVD manufacturing and film processing to post production to distribution. Technicolor provides its clients with an end-to-end supply chain of media services. Also, for both film and television, Technicolor provides a full range of post production technologies and networked services to support global productions. Ken Spickler, director of engineering, Technicolor Creative Services DVD, says his security needs require strict control of who is allowed to copy data to or from specific machines.

"Senforce's upgraded Endpoint Security Suite has eliminated our worry of data breaches to the broad reaches of our mobile endpoint devices," Spickler says. "With the addition of data security to the suite, we can now monitor and control who copies what data to or from which device. Couple that with Senforce Location-Aware technology, and we can centrally control all endpoint security policies and ensure that the appropriate policy is applied according to the location that a user is working from."

ESS 3.2 enables IT administrators to enforce the security policies that are appropriate or allowed for each endpoint device. Senforce believes that no single security policy fits everyone, every threat profile, and every situation.

ESS 3.2 builds upon the suite's key foundational feature, Location-Aware technology, which ensures that the appropriate security policy is automatically enforced; based on the location of the laptop, tablet PC or desktop PC. The addition of removable storage device security allows security administrators more granular control to determine what a user may connect to their laptop or PC and where they are allowed to do it, as well as controlling how much data may be transferred from or to their endpoint device.

Security administrators can now choose to give users complete freedom over the attachment of external devices via USB, FireWire, Bluetooth, Infrared, and PCMCIA ports, or limit them to only having data transfer capability within the safe office environment. When employees are on the road, they may be limited to only reading external storage devices, or have no ability to connect anything at all, other than a mouse and keyboard. Stricter controls may be implemented, whereby users are restricted to attaching only those devices that have a specific serial number.

"Data security is a major concern for companies today as endpoint security breaches have reached pandemic proportions," said Nolan Rosen, vice president of sales, marketing and business development at Senforce. "To prevent critical corporate data, of which the largest portion now resides on endpoint devices rather than on servers, from being lost or compromised, Senforce is responding to our customers' needs with a complete approach to endpoint data security in ESS 3.2."

Senforce Endpoint Security Suite 3.2 is available now. For more information, please visit the company Web site at http://www.senforce.com.
