BufferZone Enterprise

Comprehensive Security- Total Usability

BufferZone Enterprise patented virtualization technology resolves the conflict between security and usability. BufferZone transparently guards your stable corporate desktop configuration without restricting or limiting end-users. This is achieved through the use of central management (GPO) enabling fast and simple deployment of BufferZone clients and policies to the endpoint.

"Buffer" Corporate Data & Configuration from User Applications

In a highly sensitive corporate environment BufferZone Enterprise shields, or "buffers," the corporate configuration from any program installation not originating from IT. Inside BufferZone's virtual environment, the end-user can install and run any program from any source without ever affecting the corporate desktop configuration.

Corporate Productivity & Risk Management

The Internet has become central to global business. In its early years, the Net was at most a luxury and had not yet realized its enormous potential. However, steady and rapid technological advancements have transported us to the Internet of today: the integral cornerstone of business operability and efficiency.

Along with the Internet's obvious advantages, however, have come vast and unpredictable security risks. Hackers, vandals and corporate spies have laced the Net with a variety of viruses, spyware and many other dangerous forms of malware making the risks of using the Internet for business enormous and costly.

In spite of the abundance of security suites in the market, enterprises sustain heavy damage from malware introduced to corporate networks via innumerable paths from Internet applications on Web browsers to files on removable media such as USB flash drives, and even through email.

In addition, IT maintenance costs increase as users are allowed to download and install programs on their configurations, over time making them unstable and unsafe.

How Does BufferZone Enterprise Work?

The Virtual Zone

BufferZone's revolutionary virtualization technology complements your existing security suite by creating a separate environment called a Virtual Zone where all Internet activity and programs from external devices are contained and virtualized. The Virtual Zone keeps potentially dangerous and unknown programs, files and downloads on your endpoints from causing damage to your operating system or accessing confidential enterprise data.

Unlike anti-virus software, BufferZone Enterprise requires no signature updates and protects each endpoint on your enterprise against all forms of malware - even threats that are new and not yet identified by leading business security suites.

With BufferZone Enterprise, your business's digital assets are immune from theft or damage from external sources such as Web browsing, P2P, email, instant messaging, network shares, external media and storage devices and much more. Read more

BufferZone's central policy enforcement (GPO) allows IT Managers to:

• Centrally deploy BufferZone to endpoints.
• Manage what end-users should be running inside and outside the Virtual Zone, i.e. Skype, IM, Web browsers, USB drives.
• Hide confidential enterprise resources from vulnerable Internet applications.
• Lock down endpoint configurations while allowing users to download and install files in the Virtual Zone.

Good News for IT Managers

BufferZone Enterprise is Automated & Transparent

With BufferZone Enterprise, your business's normal workflow is not altered or disrupted in any way. Once BufferZone Enterprise is installed on the endpoints:

• Users are transparently protected and automatically adapted to your enterprise's security policy.
• Unlike other solutions, there is no user intervention - including security decisions - ever required.

• Offline users or users working from home are also always protected.

More Control for IT Managers, More Freedom for End-Users

IT managers must often enact highly restrictive policies on their users limiting their use of online applications and external media and storage. The result is an awkward and inefficient working environment with constant and tedious debates with employees as to what is and what is not possible to do inside the office environment.

BufferZone Enterprise relieves IT managers from these daily on-going debates. Instead of limiting Internet usage, IT managers can:
