Freedom for users, protection for the organization

Tel Aviv, Israel-11-15-2006-Trustware, the leader in application virtualization security technologies, announced today that it has released the new generation of its BufferZone Enterprise. This new 2.20 version brings with it a new message: Freedom for users, protection for the organization.

Users in any organization can now freely run their favorite Web-based applications such as Web browsers, P2P file sharing programs, Instant Messaging programs, or even import any alien files and programs from CDs, USB flash memory sticks, and external disks. While providing total freedom for your users, BufferZone provides full protection for your organization, and peace of mind for any IT Manager, knowing that:

• Any file entering the organization via the Internet or any other route, will automatically run in
  the BufferZone Virtual Environment. Whether or not such files are trustworthy and / or contain
  known or even unknown threats-i.e., spyware, viruses, Trojans, or worms-your organization
  is protected.
• BufferZone Enterprise requires NO signature updates - ever!
• BufferZone Enterprise enables easy and remote control of the entire organization from a
  central point.

BufferZone Enterprise's endpoints are managed by a BufferZone Enterprise MS Active Directory GPO specially designed to work on any organization's familiar MS Active Directory GPO, so that deployment, control, and management of all BufferZone endpoints is more hassle-free than ever. Using the MS Active Directory Group Policy system, any IT Manager can easily enforce BufferZone security policies on groups and individual users in just a few simple mouse clicks.

"The new BufferZone Enterprise 2.20 brings a new and a revolutionary message to today's organizational PC security. While today's organizational PC security concept is based on adding more security layers, control systems, and other unwieldy limitations on users, BufferZone Enterprise 2.20 brings a total solution, as it enables organizations to provide complete freedom to their users that was not available previously, while at the same time not only bringing powerful protection to the organization itself, but increasing the overall organizational security level".- Yaron Lavi, Trustware's Marketing Manager

BufferZone Enterprise relieves any organization's IT manager from ongoing conflicts with users over what programs or files they can or cannot use; no need to limit anyone anymore: Simply let them use any programs or files they like, even programs considered by malware developers to be vulnerable to intrusion and attack on PC assets such as Instant Messenger or Web browsers. Let them even run .exe files of any kind! It's as simple as it sounds: It doesn't matter what's running; your organization is protected!

An important issue concerns the use of Instant Messengers. The exponential growth in the use of products such as Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN Messenger hasn't bypassed organizations, as many of their users already use these vulnerable programs. Some IT Managers either block their users from using Instant Messengers, as their vulnerability creates a serious security threat to the organization, while others allow their use, thereby exposing their organizations to security vulnerabilities. Once again, BufferZone Enterprise lets organizations have their cake and eat it too, enabling freedom for users and protection for the organization.

Lavi adds: "BufferZone Enterprise actually relieves the IT Manager from spending precious time on maintaining tight security control systems that require constant maintenance of security updates, security policies, whitelists, and blacklists-and all with no signature updates required by BufferZone Enterprise-ever.

Finally, Trustware believes that IT Managers who implement our BufferZone Enterprise in their organizations will receive immediate positive feedback from the organizational management level on the one hand, as the organizational security level dramatically increases together with an increase in overall production levels; and on the other hand, from the other employees, as now they are free to download and run any file or application with no annoying limitations".
