BETHESDA, Md. -- DeviceLock endpoint leakage prevention software enables security administrators to centrally control, log and audit end-user access to peripheral devices and local ports from enterprise systems. Native integration with Microsoft Active Directory[R] results in easy deployment and administration, while comprehensive event and shadow logging provide invaluable information for verifying security standards compliance.
"After conducting a thorough comparison among a dozen full-text search products available on the market today, we chose dtSearch because of its unbeatable speed and wide range of covered data sources, including files of all popular types stored as SQL database BLOBs," said Ashot Oganesyan, DeviceLock Founder and CTO. "dtSearch also offered an incredible functional set, enabling easy analysis of the silos of unstructured log and shadow data in the DeviceLock central database. The end result lets DeviceLock reliably detect and quickly retrieve any data related to security policy violations."
"We understand from DeviceLock that integration of the dtSearch Engine has facilitated access to DeviceLock's central data repository and greatly enhanced the ability of security administrators, auditors and investigators to retrieve critical data," said Kate Tretter, Vice President of Marketing at dtSearch Corp. "We welcome the opportunity to work with DeviceLock in fulfilling this important enterprise security function."
dtSearch Engine. The dtSearch Engine provides instant searching of terabytes of data. The software can index over a terabyte of text in a single index--as well as create and instantly search an unlimited number of indexes. The dtSearch Engine can search static and dynamic web-based data sources, popular "Office" file types, and SQL and other databases (including support for BLOB data). The product also supports distributed or federated searching, with integrated relevancy ranking.
The dtSearch Engine provides over two dozen search options, with Unicode support covering hundreds of international languages. After a search, the dtSearch Engine can display web-based documents WYSIWYG, with all links and images intact, and the sole addition of highlighted hits. The dtSearch Engine comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, for both Win & .NET and Linux. For programmers, the product offers C++, Java and .NET API access, including 64-bit .NET access to dtSearch's built-in Spider technology.
DeviceLock. DeviceLock endpoint leakage prevention software enables security administrators to centrally control, log and audit end-user access to any type of peripheral devices and local ports at corporate computers. Covered devices and ports include USB and FireWire devices, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, CD-Rom and floppy drives, and serial and parallel ports. DeviceLock also supports PDAs, smartphones and many other plug-and-play devices, as well as blocks USB and PS/2 hardware keyloggers.
Using Microsoft Active Directory[R] integration, DeviceLock can be deployed, managed and administered completely from within an existing Microsoft AD installation without an additional management server. At the same time, DeviceLock supports non-Active Directory environments with the full set of management and administration functions available through the DeviceLock Enterprise Manager server.
Among many DeviceLock's advantages are its ability to generate comprehensive logs of all user activities related to locally connected devices and its ability to shadow-copy any data that users export through local ports and interfaces of their computers. This includes unique support for event logging and data shadowing covering any printing operations and local synchronizations between corporate PCs and employees' personal mobile devices that run Windows Mobile or Palm OS. All event and shadow log data are automatically collected to a central server and stored in Microsoft SQL or any existing ODBC-compliant SQL database. The data can be reviewed through built-in audit log and shadow log viewers.
This comprehensive event and shadow log central repository contains invaluable information for verifying an organization's compliance with applicable governmental and business information security standards, managing corporate security policy, and auditing end-user and DeviceLock administrator activities. The event and shadow log can also be used to detect negligent and accidental mistakes, investigate deliberate misconduct or malicious action, perform forensic analysis, and extract evidential materials for criminal proceedings.

Locks Safes And Security
Wireless computing gives us freedom of getting online without any restriction in time and space. Now you can take your laptop and get connection to the Internet wherever is offered wireless service. It can be a library, caf? or even beach. You can also purchase a wireless base station, called a router, for your home so you can get online anywhere in the house or in the immediate vicinity outdoors. But from information security awareness side, you need to do some thing to employ these options safe.
What is Wireless network and how it's work?
Wireless (Wi-Fi) or 802.11 networks is a method of connecting a computer to other computers or to the Internet without linking them by cables.
This network uses radio waves, just like cell phones and radios do. This communication, across wireless network, is similar two-way radio communication.
1. Routers collect the signal and decode, and then send information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection.
2. Wireless adapter on your laptop translate data into radio signal and transmit it using antenna.
3. And vice versa? (http://www.howstuffworks.com)
Why this kind connection is so unsafe?
Because these transmissions occur in one frequency and mostly they don't have protection against unauthorized access. So, that's means that anyone in range can pick up the signal or transmit on the same time.
From what wireless network are at risk?
* From peoples who listening transmitted information ? eavesdroppers.
* From anyone in the range who can connect to your network ? hackers.
* From unauthorized users who use your broadband internet connection without your permission.
What can protect your wireless connection?
* Encryption ? use encryption to scramble over the network. Better use Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), than Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), because it is stronger.
* Anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a firewall ? these things should be on every computer independent wireless network using or not.
* Caution - turn off your wireless network when you know you won't use it and also turn off identifier broadcasting on your wireless router. So your computer won't send a signal to any device in the vicinity announcing its presence.
Limitation ? allow only specific computers to access your wireless network and modify your router's pre-set password for administration to something only you know.
