February 6th 2008 - Centennial Software, the leading developer of network security and IT asset management solutions, today announced that Centennial DeviceWall, the award-winning endpoint security software, has received five out of five stars in a recent review by SC Magazine. The product was also named the "Best Buy" in the group test for Portable Device Security Tools appearing in the magazine's February issue. The "Best Buy" title is SC Magazine's top award and goes to products that are rated outstanding across a range of criteria including features, ease of use, performance, documentation, support and value for money.
According to SC Magazine, "With direct tie-ins to Active Directory, this product makes managing the use of portable devices easy and efficient. Once a security policy is pushed out to a specific device class and set of users, the policy is instantly enforceable throughout the entire domain and can even be configured for offline use."
Centennial DeviceWall is an endpoint security solution that enables organizations to centrally manage and protect networks from threats associated with portable storage devices such as cell phones, MP3 players and USB sticks. The product allows IT managers to address the risks of data theft, virus and malware propagation and computer misuse inside the firewall by effectively managing the connection of devices to company PCs. The product delivers advanced device controls, the latest data encryption capabilities and complete access auditing for comprehensive file transfer histories.

"The fact that DeviceWall was also named a 'Best Buy' proves that a quality, feature-rich endpoint security solution doesn't have to come a high price point."
The review also notes, "The documentation for DeviceWall is well written and easy to understand. The step-by-step instructions assist in deployment and configuration of the product. Administrators will appreciate the use of good quality screen shots that accompany the documentation of the product."
