[SafeGuard® Advanced Security]
Benefits
Enhanced security
, Easy enforcement of a
company-wide security policy in
heterogeneous environments
(multiple operating systems,
multiple devices - PCs,
notebooks, Terminal Servers)
, Improved system availability/
stability and thus guaranteed
business continuity through
efficient protection against
unauthorized program installation,
program execution (e.g. malicious
or incompatible software,
games), and unauthorized
configuration changes
, Protection against unauthorized
access and misuse
, Protection against connection of
unauthorized peripheral devices
The customizable security suite for policy-based
Access control – for office and mobile workers
Today's networked business environment and the unstoppable and rapid emergence of mobile
computing make a business's IT infrastructure a key ingredient for business success. Likewise,
the IT infrastructure has many potential weak spots. Sensitive information stored on servers
and personal devices demand around the clock protection and system availability is a prerequisite for business continuity.
Therefore, unauthorized access to the IT infrastructure is a major concern. Security issues
include prohibiting unauthorized access to devices, applications, and the company network,
preventing users from installing unauthorized software and hardware, and blocking unauthorized web access.
, Comprehensive protection
against unauthorized import
and export of data
Easy to deploy
, Administration integrated into
Microsoft Management Console
(MMC) for Active Directory and
Novell administration tools
, Reduced help-desk workload
through increased system
integrity/availability and eased
password management for users
, Customized security through
modular architecture
Organizations must make serious efforts to establish company wide security policies but often
lack the tools to enforce them. SafeGuard Advanced Security fills this need. Regardless of
whether users work with different platforms or access different devices – PCs, notebooks, terminal servers – the seven modules of SafeGuard Advanced Security provide a tailor-made
security solution.
