The USB ports leading to the computers in your network are somewhat of a hell hole, opening up the way to scary security breaches. It all comes down to the use of portable devices that can store large amounts of data that employees and visitors carry around, plug in and use, regardless of all the security red alerts popping up each step of the way.

But completely cutting access to USB ports, although still used, is not a smart move if you’re trying to protect your data against accidental loss or theft.

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.

Endpoint Security and Device Control Solutions with low TCO and great ROI.

“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.

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.

“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.

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.”
