DeviceLock launches DeviceLock 6.4.
April 2009 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
DeviceLock, Inc., announced the release of DeviceLock 6.4. With this release DeviceLock adds true file type detection and filtering – the first deep data analysis feature built atop its new content processing engine. DeviceLock 6.4 can intercept peripheral device read/write operations, perform analysis of the entire digital content in real-time and enforce applicable file-type-based security policies.
DeviceLock’s true file type detection and filtering capability currently detects around 3800 known file types and is extensible to add new types as requested by customers. It is also not limited to file filtering operations within just Windows Explorer. If permission for a given file type is set to ‘block’ for managed device types, no files of that type can be moved from a user’s computer to removable media, regardless of which application or process initiated the request.
Another new feature implemented in DeviceLock 6.4 is network-awareness support, with automatic policy mode switching. It is now possible to centrally define a separate set of permissions to be applied when a computer is disconnected from the corporate network. Such an off-line policy exists as a complement to the regular “online” policy. DeviceLock recognizes the network mode of the computer, and applies the correct policy automatically. Network-awareness support provides security administrators with one more dimension of flexibility by allowing them to take into account whether the user is working from the protected corporate network, or from a much less safe and predictable Internet environment.
DeviceLock 6.4 incorporates a number of additional enhancements including the ability to automatically generate graphical reports based on DeviceLock audit and shadow logs.
Availability:
DeviceLock 6.4 is available as of April 20, 2009.
