SecureWave Announces First-Ever Solution for Application and Device Control.

HERNDON, Va. -- Sanctuary(R) 4.0 Prevents Data Leakage and Malware at the Endpoint

SecureWave, a worldwide leader in endpoint security, today announced Sanctuary 4.0, the industry's first security solution to offer unified policy enforcement for centrally managing and monitoring device and application control. Using Sanctuary 4.0, administrators can quickly and easily define and enforce policies for the use of all portable devices and applications in one simple solution. Sanctuary's unique combination of endpoint application and device control protects the enterprise from a host of security threats, including data leakage and malware, and assures compliance with evolving regulations that govern privacy and internal controls.

Sanctuary 4.0 provides a single console that integrates the views and reports of application and device activity and their interaction, as well as the attempted use of unauthorized applications and devices. Enabling application and device access rights at a high level or all the way down to device class, specific device or application to users, user groups, a particular computer and much more, Sanctuary provides administrators with the control they need and gives end users the flexibility that they demand.

"Controlling the devices that access corporate endpoints is a big issue for most companies, but it's a huge issue for healthcare companies that store massive amounts of personal, sensitive data," said Rob Israel, CIO at John C. Lincoln Healthcare. "We use SecureWave to enforce device use policies, monitor device activity and shadow what data is entering and leaving the Company. We are very excited about the newest version of Sanctuary that will incorporate both device and application control into one product, making it easier and faster to use, as well as creating a more robust security solution. Sanctuary 4.0 provides a single, seamless view of everything accessing or attempting to access the network through corporate endpoints from a device and application perspective, providing a new level of visibility into the network than was previously possible."

SecureWave's Sanctuary 4.0 offers administrators a multitude of new features designed to enhance security functionalities and improve system and end-user productivity. Some of the new features include:

--Fully-Integrated Sanctuary Console--Allows administrators to centrally manage and monitor both application and device control from a single console, simplifying application setup, maintenance and management.

--Unified Logs and Log Management--Enables more powerful forensic analysis by identifying the relationship between device, application usage and shadowed file. Enhanced log queries enable faster access to relevant records.

--Bi-Directional Shadowing--SecureWave's patent-pending Shadowing technology can now record data read from a removable device in addition to recording data that is written to a removable device, allowing administrators to monitor the flow of inbound and outbound network data.

--File Filtering--Permissions may be granted based upon file type and applied to user/group for device class, device model or specific device, giving added control over the types of files users may move into and out of the enterprise.

--Nested Executable File Groups--Applications can now be organized into hierarchical groups, greatly simplifying the administration and management of application use policies.

--Additional Language Support--In addition to English, French and German, Sanctuary now supports Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and simplified Chinese, Spanish and Swedish.

"Today, enterprises across the globe use the same standard for setting policies as they did 50 years ago--they ask employees to sign agreements promising they won't 'do this' or 'talk about that.' With the explosion of remote laptop and mobile-based applications, enforcing these policies with a piece of paper is impossible," said Eric Ogren, security analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "In addition to protecting against malware infections, SecureWave's integrated bi-directional shadowing and unified log management gives IT a fighting chance to account for proprietary and sensitive data as it enters or leaves the network endpoints."

"Enterprises face a myriad of challenges from mounting threats at the endpoints," said Bob Johnson, CEO, SecureWave. "As more and more new devices are developed and vulnerabilities discovered, issues such as malware and data leakage are pushed to the forefront. Currently, more than 1,200 customers worldwide rely on SecureWave to protect their sensitive data and valuable network resources. With SecureWave Sanctuary 4.0, more organizations than ever will be able to capitalize on the most comprehensive, integrated solution for endpoint security management available."
