Endpoint security firm Safend has launched a software solution, Safend Protector, which targets unprotected network endpoints.
The product controls data access from the physical ports of all enterprise endpoints, such as USB, FireWire, WiFi, Bluetooth, infrared and CD/DVDs, the company said in a statement.
Safend Protector is sold and supported in SA by Magix Integration, an enterprise risk management company.
"Data is susceptible to theft or malicious code, introduced via removable media," says Amir Lubashevsky, director of Magix Integration.
"Safend Protector was developed to give IT managers control over enterprise endpoints, yet keep access management simple. Managers can set policies regarding which user can connect which peripheral device across all communication ports and be sure those policies are enforced with the industry's strongest tamper-resistant lockdown."
Safend Protector, he says, is designed to help organisations seal up one of the most significant vulnerabilities in their network security strategy. Operating at the kernel level, IT managers can set granular policies regarding peripheral device connectivity.
Included with Safend Protector is Safend Auditor, a free analysis tool that provides a list of all devices that are or have been connected to a network within the last six months, spotlighting endpoint vulnerabilities. Security policies can then be customised by organisations to fit their needs, whether it's company-wide, by department or individual.
