August, 2004
New Transparent Encryption Tool Protects Companies Against Data Loss and Theft - 1st August 2004
Reflex Magnetics today launched Reflex Disknet Pro 4.4, a new version of its enterprise security solution, offering businesses an easy to manage and robust security tool to help ensure their corporate data never comes under threat. The new version features transparent removable media encryption for devices such as USB memory sticks to protect corporate data from both loss and theft when removed from a secure network environment.
As well as managing the use of removable media devices and removing the risk of data loss and theft, Reflex Disknet Pro 4.4 also protects against:
The Reflex Disknet Pro security tool has attracted world-wide interest for its approach to data and PC security, which focuses on controlling the use of removable media devices from simple floppy disks to InfraRed or Bluetooth devices. With the increasing use of ‘plug and play’ operating systems such as Windows 2000 and XP, these devices can be used with the most basic of user rights. The security ramifications of possible data theft and the introduction of malicious code cannot be ignored by businesses.
Reflex Disknet Pro 4.4 provides IT Administrators with the tools to maintain data integrity down to the minutest level and comprises of the following features:
Port Guard – enables or prevents users from connecting unauthorised mobile devices to PC ports
Removable Media Manager – manages the use of each individual device and ensures all devices are scanned for malicious code or prohibited file types before re-introduction to the network
Encryption Policy Manager (EPM) – encrypts mobile data and removes the risk of loss and theft
Program Security Guard – prevents the creation, modification and deletion of defined file types
The EPM transparently encrypts media so that end users are unaware of the security processes that are taking place on their PC. Outside the protected Disknet Pro environment, information is encrypted and inaccessible. All encryption is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128/256 Bit, the encryption standard prescribed by US Government agencies for securing sensitive but unclassified material.
The final feature of DiskNet Pro 4.4 is Program Security Guard that prevents the creation, modification, and deletion of defined file types. In this way the configuration and security settings of a PC can be protected, with the product acting as a generic anti-virus solution that has proved to be 100% effective against the latest spate of virus and worm attacks. In addition to this, the ability to define any file type means the elimination of other ‘problems’ such as unauthorised software, games or music subsequently reducing the total cost of ownership of the network.
Available immediately, Reflex Disknet Pro 4.4’s unique architecture makes it the only solution able to support standalone machines and a mobile workforce. For more information call or visit www.reflex-magnetics.co.uk. Existing Disknet Pro customers can seamlessly upgrade to 4.4 without any additional installation headaches.
