May 14, 2007 - Centennial Software, developer of IT asset discovery and endpoint security solutions, today announced that its award-winning endpoint security software, Centennial DeviceWall, was named the "Recommended" product in SC Magazine’s newly released group test of USB security products (SC Magazine, Group Test: USB Security, May 2007). DeviceWall received an overall five star rating, scoring perfect in categories including ease of use, features, performance and value for money. It outperformed products from Utimaco, Safend and GFi.
According to the review, "The DeviceWall product goes way beyond typical USB security features. DeviceWall can be used as a complete endpoint security product. We found that its simple deployment, easy manageability and loads of features make this product shine. We found this product to be a strong contender. It is our recommended product."
DeviceWall is an endpoint security solution that helps organizations centrally manage and protect their networks from threats associated with portable storage devices (iPods, USB sticks, cell phones etc.). DeviceWall helps organizations address the risks of data theft, virus and malware propagation and computer misuse inside the firewall by managing the connection of all portable storage devices to company PCs. The product delivers advanced device controls, the latest data encryption capabilities and complete access auditing for comprehensive file transfer histories.
"According to research we conducted at this year’s InfoSecurity Europe conference, removable media devices now present the biggest threat to corporate security," said Bill Piwonka, vice president of product management at Centennial Software. "As organizations begin to research credible solutions to these threats, it’s extremely valuable to have an independent resource like SC Magazine objectively evaluate the available products. We’re extremely pleased that SC Magazine has recognized the value DeviceWall provides to our customers and awarded us the coveted ‘Recommended’ product."
