Endpoint Protector 2008 Addresses Wireless USB Security Issues

Wireless USBs, besides bringing data transfers and portability to a new level and diminishing restrictions of the traditional USB protocol, also harbor specific threats. While transfers between these portable devices and computers comes with no impressive tricks, the data the store can be easily leaked to third party PCs or devices supporting wireless transfers.

The new Endpoint Protector 2008 developed by CoSoSys is the first endpoint security and DLP solution to address such threats specifically. More details on the new version from PR Inside:

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.

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.

While the client product only runs on Windows operating systems, the Endpoint Protector Server 2008 is available for both Windows and Linux platforms, addressing a wider range of working scenarios.
