NetSpeed provides internal network security through Promisec software

Johannesburg, 06 Nov 2006

Spectator Professional's Clientless Endpoint Security Management (CESM) software from Promisec provides the organisation with a complete security solution that detects and eliminates pre-defined and user-specific internal threats without the installation of invasive client software on organisations' computers. Spectator Professional also enables more effective enforcement of security policies and prevents the loss and theft of mission-critical information.

It stands as the leading endpoint security management solutions that detects, prevents, monitors and repairs irregularities within the internal network without a need for inconvenient client agents.

According to Ari Tammam, Vice President of Channels at Promisec, recent research shows that between 75% (Aberdeen Group, Ernst & Young) and 85% (FBI America) of security breaches are committed by authorised users. Our clients report that this problem is at the top of their priority list, and only about 10% of these breaches are ever detected. The average cost of an internal attack is a hefty $2 million per incident."

Spectator Professional uses innovative patent-pending technology to inspect all network endpoints and servers within the Local Area Network (LAN) for compliance with built-in and user-defined security criteria. Installed on a single security administrator workstation, Spectator Professional inspects each endpoint for applications, services, processes or devices that may have been installed on them, while at the same time ensuring that necessary applications, needed to maintain security, are indeed installed and active.

By distributing this product in South Africa, NetSpeed and Promisec ensures that when organisations identify threats, they can offer immediate remote rectification of the problem, eliminating processes or reversing harmful registry changes. Threats are eliminated either automatically or in accordance with the company security policy. With no burden on network resources, Spectator Professional can be configured to periodically or continuously inspect all endpoints within the network environment - taking only seconds per device. One thousand computers can be scanned per minute with Spectator Professional.

Pioneering Clientless Endpoint Security Management, Promisec leads the field of non-invasive endpoint security solutions for the enterprise. The company's solutions enable IT security administrators to independently manage internal network security from a central point within the organization - more effectively enforcing security policies inside the network.

"As more and more people are granted access to mission-critical data and resources, many of today's threats originate from endpoints within the network. Internal users, often with access to the most sensitive company information, can either maliciously or unwittingly introduce harmful code into their PC's. Trusted employees can copy confidential information for use outside the organisation unhindered. NetSpeed can prevent that through Spectator Professional." Says Thomas Lee, Director of NetSpeed.
