"The big lie of computer security is that security improves by imposing complex passwords on users. In real life, people write down anything they can’t remember. Security is increased by designing for the way humans actually behave." Jakob Nielsen

Lumension Extends its Leading Device Control Solution to Enhance Data and Endpoint Security for Microsoft System Center Customers

Good news to all Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 customers, you don't need to have separate hardware and software to employ data security across your network with Lumension's Device Control technology. Lumensions Device Control is an industry proven technology that enforces enterprise-wide usage and enforcement of policies for removable devices such as thumb drives and media to help protect organizations from the loss of sensitive data, as well as the introduction of malware.

Microsoft customers can avoid the substantial costs associated with procuring, deploying and managing a parallel device control solution infrastructure by centralizing the deployment and enforcement of device control and data encryption policies in both physical and virtual environments.

With Lumensions Device Control for System Center (DCSC), Microsoft Customers can:

  • Minimize data loss or theft by enforcing USB device usage and data encryption policies;
  • Prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to endpoints within the organization;
  • Automatically encrypt critical information on removable devices and media; and,
  • Prevent introduction of malware via USB devices.

"Data security continues to remain a top priority for organizations everywhere and we are excited to extend the tried and proven capabilities of Lumension Device Control into the Microsoft System Center environment to help organizations better protect data against leakage while continually enforcing policies across their IT environment,” said Rich Hlavka, SVP Business Development, Lumension. “By centrally managing, deploying, enforcing and monitoring device access and file transfer policies via the already established Configuration Manager environment, Microsoft customers can significantly reduce additional implementation costs and quickly enhance their security policy enforcement,” continued Hlavka.

Lumensions DCSC beta test prgram is now available for download for Microsoft System Center customers.

Lumension DCSC is currently scheduled for general availability in Q3 2009.

Conficker virus begins to attack PCs: experts

Conficker, also known as Downadup or Kido, is quietly turning an unknown number of personal computers into servers of email spam.

Conficker installs a second virus, known as Waledac, that sends out email spam without knowledge of the PC's owner, along with a fake anti-spyware program.

Conficker also carries a third virus that warns users their PCs are infected and offers them a fake anti-virus program, Spyware Protect 2009 for $49.95 which will steal their credit card information if they buy it and the virus downloads even more malicious software.

The security industry formed a task force that thwarted the worm partially by using the Internet's traffic control system to block access to servers that control the slave computers.

Conficker worm is believed to be controlled by syndicates that are based in eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, China and Latin America. It can evade corporate firewalls by passing from an infected machine onto a USB memory stick, then onto another PC.
