Reflex Magnetics News

London – May 18, 2006 - Reflex Magnetics, a leading provider of IT security solutions for organisations worldwide, today announced that it is preparing the latest version of its Reflex Disknet Pro software to support Microsoft’s Network Access Protection technology for Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2 and the future version of Windows Server, codenamed Longhorn.

Reflex’s flagship Disknet Pro software is currently used by businesses of all sizes including government and military agencies to ensure corporate data never comes under threat. As well as managing the use of removable media devices and removing the risks associated with loss and theft of devices, Reflex Disknet Pro also protects against unauthorised system access, illegal importing of data, software piracy and introduction of malicious code and viruses.

Microsoft’s Network Access Protection technology performs computer health policy validation, ensures ongoing compliance with health policies, and optionally restricts the access of computers that do not comply with system health requirements until their health state can be corrected. Network Access Protection includes a Windows-based client and server architecture.

"So many of our existing customers are using Microsoft operating systems, by making this move to support Network Access Protection we are ensuring that Reflex Disknet Pro will be compatible with any future systems they may implement," said Andy Campbell, managing director, Reflex Magnetics. "Reflex Disknet Pro enables companies to make the most out of removable media devices by allowing their employees to store and transfer data securely. By supporting Network Access Protection we can ensure that our customers are able to maintain their network’s health in line with Microsoft’s operating systems."

Reflex Disknet Pro allows the systems administrator to take control of all USB and other memory devices. Access to devices can be controlled either by denying all access, providing read only access, allowing full authorised access or enforcing only encrypted access.

Microsoft’s Network Access Protection technology provides an infrastructure and an API set for extending the functionality. Vendors and software developers can use the API set to build their own network policy validation, ongoing network policy compliance, and network isolation components that are compatible with Network Access Protection.
