License to hope – Protect your data and help marginalized children
If you’re interested in protecting yourself against data theft, data leakage and other USB device related risks and would also like to help needy children, then you’re going to love the License to hope campaign! Powered by CoSoSys and the Romanian Foundation for Children, Community and Family, License to hope aims to create an education center with 50 properly equipped laptops and providing computer usage training to 150 marginalized children yearly.
Meet the children
To do so, CoSoSys will donate 50% from all revenue generated by Secure it Easy license sales. Secure it easy is an easy to install endpoint security software that helps protect notebooks and PCs in small and home offices as well as home users from portable storage device threats.

The first fully compatible Device Control solution for Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Yes, folks it was bound to happen. Device Control, Data Loss Prevention and endpoint security applications were bound to conquer the new over-hyped platforms, Windows 7 and Snow Leopard. And the first one to reach this performance is the latest version of Endpoint Protector 2009, developed by CoSoSys, a leading developer of endpoint security and portable storage device applications. The new version has a clear purpose, one that is a must for all companies interested in security: allowing them to test and implement the most recent operating systems, while protecting them from common threats yielded by extreme data portability and mobility.
“Our goal is to keep companies safe while allowing them to test, implement and turn the latest breakthroughs in software and hardware platforms into a profitable advantage. Releasing a version for the Windows 7 operating system – which is currently one of the most hyped and critically appraised platforms – and for Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a natural step in our ongoing strive to adapt to as many IT environments as possible. It also complements our efforts of maintaining a high level of mobility and productivity for non-technical users by providing them with a continuously increasing range of controlled portable devices, from iPods, cameras and USB sticks to ExpressCard SDD and printers,” explains Roman Foeckl, CoSoSys CEO.
To test the new version of Endpoint Protector 2009, you can download the 30 days trial or check out the online demo at http://www.EndpointProtector.com.
CoSoSys Launches World’s First DLP and Endpoint Security SaaS Offering
CoSoSys, a leading developer of endpoint security and portable storage device applications, has just released My Endpoint Protector (MyEPP), the first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application to deliver Data Loss Prevention and device control “in the cloud”. MyEPP will help companies manage the internal and external security threats created by the broad availability and use of portable data storage devices, while focusing on keeping the impact on IT resources at a minimum. The new web service uses a policy-based approach to enable businesses to manage how data can be used on all endpoints – Desktops, Laptops, Netbooks and more – from a single centralized web console, no matter where those endpoints are located.
Why should you consider a MyEPP subscription?
- Your company will be able to minimize inside threats and prevend data loss and data theft
- The cloud computing approach means you don’t have to worry about servers setup, installation or management
- You can access the centralized web-based dashboard remotely, from any computer with and Internet connection and a web browser
- Real time monitoring of all devices used by your employees
- Create your own security policy without the need for additional hardware or software, without the need of having in house IT security experts
- Enforce your policies easily through customizable templates
- All for prices as low as $2 per PC per month
“Most businesses today are aware that they need to proactively protect both their own intellectual property and customer information held in trust on their systems,” said Roman Foeckl, CoSoSys CEO. “But the thought of having to hire dedicated staff or consultants to install, implement and manage this type of solution has prevented many from taking the steps needed to protect that data.
“My Endpoint Protector makes enterprise-level device control and security accessible to even the smallest organizations without the need for expensive additional equipment or staff. Whether employees work from home, on the road or from remote locations, the security of their desktops and laptops can easily be centrally managed through the cloud.”
If you need more reasons to act now, just go ahead and evaluate the costs of a real data breach!

CoSoSys uses humor to teach about security threats
As you’ve probably seen on this blog, there are news about security breaches, people who’ve been affected by identity theft and fraud, billions of dollars in losses every single day. More a day in really bad cases. Although there’s a ton of information out there, individuals and companies still fail at protecting themselves against such breaches and at keeping their private data safe.
CoSoSys, leading developer of endpoint security and data loss prevention solutions, has chosen a different approach to raise awareness about the risks we face everyday: humor, namely a series of comic strips showing what can really happen. As CNET puts it, they put the fun back in security threats.
The first comic, originally published on CoSoSys’ EndpointProtector.com site shows how easy it is for an employee to copy your entire data base and take it to your main competitor. A simple thumb drive, three minutes left alone in the office, and that’s it!
But as fun and laughing are not the only goals of the strip, each of them also helps you find out what to do and how you do it. Designed to promote the company’s most popular DLP, endpoint security and device management solution, Endpoint Protector, each issue will show how everything can be prevented.
“Recent research performed in both the US and the UK shows a troubling trend: data breaches are rising in numbers and in costs as well. Millions of people have their data exposed to identity theft or fraud each year and few of those affected or those responsible of the incidents know that most of these instances could easily be prevented. Making sure that your private records and all endpoints in your network are secured is not a difficult task. That is why we are committed to put our best efforts into raising awareness and educating the public about staying safe without making any lifestyle compromises”, explained Roman Foeckl, CoSoSys CEO.
The next issues of the strip will be published each Thursday for the next 7 weeks. You can see them here or register to get them on your email. Easier if you asked me, as remembering to visit a link every week is not something I usually do.
