- CoSoSys, vendor of the most innovative and effective applications for
portable storage devices and endpoint security solutions, had identified the
high risks embedded in this past holiday season’s most popular gift, the
netbooks. Affordable netbooks have made their way into our homes and they
are now making their way into most corporate offices as secondary PCs as
well. With their seamless connectivity and increasingly large solid state
disks (SSD) or traditional HDD capacities, netbooks are becoming an easy
tool to unintentionally leak company data or to intentionally steal it.

Netbooks can be a useful tool when it comes to increasing productivity,
ease of work and employee motivation but they need to be integrated in the
company networks proactively and comply with the company’s existing endpoint
security measures. Although Netbooks do not include an optical drive such as
a CD or DVD drive, their quick and easy connectivity through wireless
networks, USB Ports, SD Card readers and other ports pose a substantial
threat and make it easy to transfer unauthorized data.
“Corporate IT departments needs to consider Netbooks as a serious issue
when it comes to Endpoint Security and they are advised to take control over
them as they enter their networks rather than waiting for the first data
breaches to happen. Enforcing Endpoint Security policies with Endpoint
Protector allows IT administrators to fully control all ports and data
transfers from endpoints, including Netbooks, to any other portable device
such as USB Flash Drives or External HDDs to prevent data loss” said Roman
Foeckl, CoSoSys CEO.
Endpoint Protector is a best-of-breed DLP (Data Loss Prevention)
technology, combined with the flexibility of a web management console that
reduces the total cost of ownership and significantly lowers implementation
time and data leakage risk. It allows IT departments to proactively take
control of the device internal use, while tracking all data transferred in
or out of the protected network and enforcing encryption of data in transit
on portable devices. As the Endpoint Protector solution runs on both Linux
and Windows based servers, it allows network administrators to prevent all
threats embedded in portable and lifestyle devices, while allowing them to
make use of existing IT infrastructure. Endpoint Protector is available as a
free 30 day trial or online demo at
www.endpointprotector.com .
