Senforce Expands Endpoint Security Suite’s Anti-Spyware Enforcement
Draper, Utah August 16, 2005 Senforce Technologiesâ„? Inc., the leader in location-aware endpoint security enforcement, today announced that the company’s market-leading endpoint security solution now integrates with additional anti-spyware technology available in the market. Specifically, the Senforce Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) has gained added support for Lavasoft, Spybot, F-Secure, Finjan, Panda, Sophos, Sunbelt Software, and Tenebril. These new integration points complement a list that already includes Computer Associates (CA), McAfee, Trend Micro, and Webroot among other leading anti-spyware products.
Through integrated anti-spyware enforcement, ESS customers can manage and enforce security policies, and see that endpoint PCs are protected from spyware infection with the feature-rich, best-of-breed anti-spyware tools of the customer’s choosing. Senforce software ensures that anti-spyware products are installed, running and up-to-date with the latest spyware definitions and security settings.
Senforce’s unique approach to endpoint enforcement ensures compliance on all devices all the time regardless of whether they are connecting to corporate infrastructure, or simply surfing the Web at a wireless hotspot or a hotel or home broadband connection. Senforce does not rely on endpoint authentication or connection to a corporate network in order to provide these checks and protections, as opposed to competitive products. The result is a superior, anytime, anywhere anti-spyware protection solution for the organization.
“Anti-spyware products are only effective when they are running and definitions are kept up-to-date,” said Scott Richards, vice president of Product Management, Senforce. “Senforce’s central management platform provides organizations with extended management of maturing point technologies including anti-spyware products. Adding management of industry-leading anti-spyware products is a logical extension of our anti-virus enforcement strategy.”
The Senforce Endpoint Security Suite (ESS) enables IT managers to centrally create, manage and enforce security policies to protect corporate data on endpoint desktop, notebook and tablet PCs, automate security practices and enforce regulatory compliance such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and DoDD 8100.2.
Senforce has longstanding relationships with the world’s leading anti-spyware software companies, and is committed to standards-based integration between ESS and third-party products.
The increased integration between ESS and anti-spyware software arrives at a critical time. Spyware is a rapidly growing market and one of the most critical security topics today. According to IDC’s Worldwide Spyware 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis, spyware has been listed by company representatives as the fourth greatest threat to their enterprise network security.
The IDC report notes that spyware can do significant damage to computers and networks, and that removal is a daunting task. Savvy CIOs are using endpoint security technology to automate the enforcement of security policies, rather than relying on employees to make all the right decisions. An important element of this is assuring that anti-spyware and anti-virus programs are always on and up-to-date everywhere users go, and regardless of whether or not they’re connected to the network.
ESS with integrated support for third-party anti-spyware solutions is available now. For more information about Senforce’s endpoint integrity features, please visit http://www.senforce.com/pointendinteg.htm.
