Protecting PC Endpoints Against Unauthorized Usage




Roman Foeckl

CoSoSys announces the version 1.2 release of Secure it Easy featuring new file tracing abilities. Additionally to protecting PC endpoints against unauthorized usage of iPods, USB Sticks or external hard disks, Secure it Easy also keeps track of all data that was copied to and from the actual storage devices prior authorized to connect to protected PCs.

According to Gartner Research, most security breaches do not originate from external hackers, viruses or worms, but from employees who commit more than 70% of unauthorized access to information systems.

To guard PCs from major threats such as data theft and accidental or intentional data leakage, Secure it Easy acts as a protective layer between the secured PC and monitored portable storage devices. Secure it Easy makes sure that no devices can be connected to a certain PC, unless they are authorized by its administrator. All other devices are automatically blocked from reading or writing data.

Additionally, the new version of Secure it Easy gives the administrator the possibility to trace files that where copied to a storage device or that have been transferred from the device to the PC. With this feature the PCs administrator can monitor which user is accessing and writing what data to and from portable storage devices. This file tracing option allows the prevention of possible data breaches or of data being copied without authorization through efficient auditing.

“Controlling the use of internal data through mobile devices is not enough for businesses striving to comply with an increasing number of regulations and industry standards. Monitoring the whole information flow to and from mobile devices becomes just as important for the IT Security staff, who are expected to implement an effective endpoint security solution, as it is for Compliance Officers who need to guarantee standard requirements are met and company policies are enforced.
Not only who has permission to use removable storage devices is an essential piece of information for effective endpoint security and further internal audits, but also what data is being transferred,” said CoSoSys CEO Roman Foeckl.

Secure it Easy is recommended for use in Small and Home Offices (SOHO). This new cost-effective version comes with a free 30-day trial, allowing existing and potential customers to test all its new features and enhancements.

Secure it Easy is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000. The application user interface is available in English, German, French and Romanian.
