Lumension Security announces Sanctuary 4.3
May 2008 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Lumension Security Inc. announced Sanctuary 4.3, a solution that reduces risks of data loss and theft by encrypting and protecting accessible endpoints such as storage devices, removable media and now CD/DVD media.
Sanctuary Device Control 4.3 allows administrators to enforce policy requiring either the built-in Sanctuary encryption or PGP Corporation encryption solutions for removable storage devices. PGP enterprise data protection solutions help organizations comply with FIPS-140-2 standards and provide centralized encryption key management and support for large secondary hard drives. Using PGP® encryption with Sanctuary Device Control 4.3, administrators can easily establish and enforce granular encryption policies for removable storage devices; review device usage logs; and monitor the content of data transferred to and from devices.
Sanctuary 4.3 Delivers Key Benefits:
• Prevents Data Loss on CD/DVD – Extends data security beyond USB and other portable devices to include CD/DVD media. Enforces encryption for data written to CD/DVD based on user or user group, with portability to non-Sanctuary machines for secure information sharing outside of the organization.
• Enforces Enterprise Encryption Policy for Removable Storage Devices – Enables administrators to require removable storage device encryption by policy using native Sanctuary encryption and/or PGP® Whole Disk Encryption.
• Simplify Compliance with Audit Trail of Data Transferred – Every bit of data written to portable media such as USB thumb drives and CD/DVD media can be “shadowed” in a back office server for auditing and compliance purposes. Using the patented Shadowing Technology, administrators can log the filename or full file contents that are transferred to or from removable storage devices, now including PGP® encryption solutions.
Sanctuary Application and Device Control 4.3 Delivers Expanded Platform Support:
• Expanded Agent Platform on 64-bit Architectures
o Windows Server 2003 64 bit support
o Windows XP 64 bit support
o Sanctuary Agent previously supported 64-bit Windows Vista
• Expanded Database Platform Support
o Support for SQL Server 2005 on 64-bit Architecture
