SecureWave announces the joint release of SecureEXE v2.7 and SecureNT v2.7

True intrusion prevention through Centralized Application Execution Control and I/O Device Management for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

Both solutions, which can also be purchased separately, combine into the worldwide leading intrusion prevention solution with well over 100 000 computers protected, and more than 150 global customers. With this update, SecureWave's extends its lead into providing the only integrated and centrally managed Intrusion Prevention solution for controlling executables and I/O devices on Windows environments.

Beyond their benefits of providing customers with immediate and measurable ROI in the management of their networks by exponentially increasing the stability of both desktops and servers and the productivity of end-users, SecureWave's Solutions now feature:

• Manage of applications based on their locations (SecureEXE): Locations that are under the control of administrators, such as company network shares, are inherently safe. The administrator can take advantage of such locations by setting path rules rather than authorizing individual executable files. Path rules, when used in conjunction with hash rules, offer greater flexibility without compromising security.
• Management of devices beyond those supported by default (SecureNT): Any device that is not managed out-of-the-box can now be added as a user defined device and have permissions applied the usual way. By default, SecureNT provides very strict security by disabling unknown devices. However, the use of some devices such as PDAs may be allowed by adding them to the list of user-defined devices.
• Set per-device permissions (SecureNT): Sometimes a built-in device type may be too general and it may be desirable to implement a finer grained control down to the device model. For instance, rather than grant permissions to use any removable media you may want to restrict access to a specific, company-approved model. Together with user-defined devices, SecureNT provides a unified model for an ad-hoc device management.
• Shadow DVD/CD-ROM (SecureNT): Shadowing has been extended to cover the following writable media formats: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW. Shadowing means that data written to these media are intercepted and made available for auditing. The recent spread of writable media and the Plug and Play capabilities of Windows XP make it extremely easy, for example, for any user to plug in a CDR unit and copy large amounts of potentially sensitive data. By default, SecureNT disables writing to such media, and when writing must be enabled you can optionally elect to shadow the data.
• Enhance your control over Infrared (SecureNT): Infrared ports offer, through IrDA, an extremely easy way to connect peripherals or other computers to a PC; it will even serve as a network interface, completely bypassing any access restrictions in place for a regular corporate network. SecureNT now allows disabling of infrared ports through a simple setting, restoring the certainty that network communications pass only through authorized and secured channels.
