Press Release Summary: New CoSoSys solution provides efficient Data Loss Prevention
(DLP), addressing data theft and other forms of data leakage. With increased
security and file tracing capabilities all data transfers in connection with
portable devices are monitored and controlled



Press Release Body: Bucharest/San Jose, February 12th, 2008 - Companies are facing
new IT security challenges arising from the introduction of the Wireless USB
standard for data transfer that comes without both the requirements and limitations
of traditional wired USB connectivity.



Wireless USB connectivity on new notebooks, desktops and other portable devices
increases the risk of data leakage through uncontrolled Wireless USB data transfers.
Within seconds data can be transferred and stolen if efficient security measures
are not in place to protect against such threats.



The new Endpoint Protector 2008 efficiently protects PCs from data loss, data theft
and other forms of data leakage. Endpoint Protector allows the controlled use of
USB devices, external hard drives, FireWire devices, CD/DVD-Readers/Writers and many
other potentially harmful devices, with the goal of stopping malware, viruses and
other unwanted data intrusions.



Endpoint Protector 2008 also monitors and records all data transferred to and from
portable storage devices. This new feature gives IT administrators the possibility
to trace all data activity regarding removable storage and endpoint devices. This
file tracing option allows the prevention of possible data breaches or of data being
copied without authorization.



In case of data deletion before or after transferring it to and from portable
devices a copy of the data is stored onto a network storage server. The information
stream at the network's endpoints is thoroughly recorded, thus supporting audits of
data flow and controlling the impact of data leakage. Furthermore, this set of
features enables companies to better comply with government regulations, as well as
with standards currently being discussed and pending implementation in what security
responsibility, data breach management and IT governance is concerned.



The improved administrative and reporting tool with the completely redesigned
dashboard is giving a starting point to provide timely and accurate reports and
analysis, meeting the reporting needs of both management and IT security staff.

Endpoint Protector 2008 also introduces the TrustedDevice concept, giving IT
Security Officers the additional possibility of enforced encryption of data that is
put in transit on previously authorized portable storage devices. In the event that
a device is lost or stolen, this enforcement makes sure all data stored on it is
encrypted and therefore not accessible to other parties.

Endpoint Protector 2008 will effectively secure all PCs running Windows Vista,
Windows XP and Windows 2000. The new version of Endpoint Protector Server 2008 is
available for Windows 2003 Server with IIS and Microsoft SQL 2005 as database.
Alternatively, the new Endpoint Protector Server can be installed on a Linux Debian
platform with Apache web server and MySQL as database. The objective of supporting
both server platforms is to provide a fast and seamless integration into an existing
network infrastructure of SMBs or enterprises.
