BufferZone Enterprise

Security Without Compromise

BufferZone Enterprise finally delivers peace of mind to IT managers. Through breakthrough virtualization technology, BufferZone Enterprise solves the conflict between usability and security.

BufferZone transparently guards a stable corporate desktop configuration, without placing any restrictions or limitations on end-users. This is achieved by fast and simple deployment, through centrally controlling and deploying BufferZone clients and policies to the endpoint. BufferZone isolates the corporate configuration and data from the user applications. In the corporate protected environment runs the corporate configuration shielded and protected from any program installation not coming from IT. In the BufferZone virtual environment the end-user can install and run any program from any source without ever affecting the corporate desktop configuration.

Corporate Productivity vs. Risk Management
The Internet has become the lifeblood of global business. In past years, the Internet was “a nice thing to have”, it’s rapidly becoming impossible to manage without it. Today, however, the Internet is overwhelmingly flooded with security risks, such as viruses, spyware and other types of malware, making it the preferred tool of hackers, vandals and corporate spies.

The abundance of various types of malware poses a significant security risk for enterprises of all sizes. This risk often requires several dedicated solutions, all of which consume time and money. It requires anti-virus software to protect against viruses, anti-spyware software to protect against spyware, a firewall to protect against network intrusions, etc.

And still, in spite of the profusion of security suites in the market, enterprises sustain heavy damage from many types of malware, which are introduced to the corporate network via innumerable paths, such as: vulnerabilities in widespread Internet applications (such as Web browsers), files on removable media (such as USB flash memory sticks), and even through email.

This insufferable situation forces IT managers to place highly restrictive policies on their users, thereby limiting and deprecating their use of online applications and external or removable media. The result is an uncomfortable working environment characterized by constant and tedious debates with users and an overall reduction in productivity.

How Does It Work?

BufferZone’s revolutionary virtualization technology complements your existing security suite by creating an isolated zone, which separates the operating system and confidential data from unknown programs, downloads and files on each of your enterprise endpoints. Unlike anti-virus and anti-spyware software, BufferZone Enterprise requires no signature updates at all, while protecting each endpoint on your network against spyware and other types of malware - even threats that are new and not yet known. Moreover, with BufferZone Enterprise, your enterprise’s digital assets are immune from theft or damage by vulnerabilities from all sources, such as external (removable) media, Web browsing, P2P, email, instant messaging, network shares, and much more.

Peace of Mind for the IT Manager

Deployment of BufferZone Enterprise is automatic and transparent, so the enterprise’s normal workflow is not altered or disrupted in any way. Once installed on the endpoints, users are transparently protected, and they are automatically adapted to the enterprise’s security policy. Unlike other solutions, no user intervention ― including security decisions ― is ever required. Additionally, even offline users or users working from home are always protected.

BufferZone Enterprise relieves IT managers from eternal daily debates with their users about what programs or files they may or may not use. Instead of limiting and deprecating Internet usage, IT managers can grant their users freedom by allowing them to run Internet applications normally considered vulnerable in the Virtual Zone, thus keeping the enterprise network risk-free.

IT Managers deploying BufferZone Enterprise in their organizations will receive very positive feedbacks from management, as the enterprise’s security level will increase dramatically alongside an overall increase in production. Furthermore, IT Managers can expect very positive feedback from their users, as they will be able to grant them more freedom surfing the Web, downloading files, and running applications previously considered vulnerable to threats.

Take Complete Control

BufferZone Enterprise brings central policy enforcement to a new level. Its remotely accessible management console, based on Microsoft’s GPO, delivers - literally - complete control over what users are allowed or not allowed to run, in and out of their respective Virtual Zones. Alongside this ultimate level of control, BufferZone Enterprise’s management console introduces a new level in simplicity and ease of use. A few mouse clicks is all it takes to ban any installation from any source (including, but not limited to the Web, removable media, network shares, etc.), or to force the usage of any application or file type within the boundaries of the Virtual Zone.
