GFI, the developer of network and security software, has received two more awards, namely for its EventsManager and EndPointSecurity solutions.
EventsManager has been recognised for excellence and awarded the 2007 readers' choice award in the best security auditing product category by Redmond Magazine. The 2007 winner and preferred product awards, which appeared in the April issue, are presented to vendors in 45 different product categories, ranging from anti-virus and network management to firewalls and back-up utilities.
EventsManager allows you to monitor network security and performance through event log management. Data is collected from all devices that use Windows event logs, W3C or Syslog and key data and critical issues can be identified thanks to in-built and custom rules and filtering. It provides real-time alerting when critical system and security events arise, thereby helping administrators to easily identify areas that require immediate attention. Event log management is also important for legal compliance and for forensic investigations. With EventsManager, the workload is heavily minimised allowing administrators to spend their time evaluating rather than just collecting data, GFI said. The other solution, EndPointSecurity, was awarded a gold award and a rating of 4.5 out of five by WindowSecurity.com, a resource for IT administrators on Windows networks.
EndPointSecurity provides IT administrators with granular, network-wide controls for portable storage devices, removable media and a wide range of consumer electronic devices, such as USB sticks, PDAs, flash drives and iPods, which if not managed properly, can wreak havoc to a network's security and reduce employee productivity.
In a lengthy review of EndPointSecurity, Jakob H. Heidelberg talks about the ever-growing threat posed to networks by portable storage devices. The reviewer says that this product offers "many great features" and "allows the control of data flow to and from storage devices on a user by user basis throughout the network". He also highlights certain advantages that the product has over operating systems like Vista that provide some built-in functionality for controlling access to removable storage devices through Group Policy.
