A product well worth considering!!!

I have been speaking with a lot of customers over this past year who are dealing with information confidentiality issues, privacy breaches and general loss of intellectual property - either by malicious or accidental activity.

Trend Micro has just released the latest version of our Data Loss Prevention Production (v5.5)
You can download it from here:
http://downloadcenter.trendmicro.com/index.php?regs=NABU&clk=latest&clkval=347&lang_loc=1

Data Loss Prevention delivers a network and endpoint-based data loss prevention (DLP) solution, combined with a workflow-navigation engine that makes it easier to identify, track, and secure your business-critical data. Plus, it reduces cost and complexity with high performance, fast deployment, and your choice of form factors. Your data is protected—whether online or offline—across email, webmail, social media, IM, Skype, Windows File Share, CDs, USB drives, ActiveSync, and other common threat vectors.

This is also now combined with a Network agent which is able to detect sentive data being transferred within the network without the needs for an installed agent - so perfect for environments which have a lot of contractors.

You can get the network monitoring agent from:

Some of the new features of DLP v5.5 are:

·         Centralized Management for both DLP Endpoint and DLP Network Monitor

·         Data Stealing Malware Detection

·         Enhanced Dashboard and new reporting options

·         Policy-based white/black list

·         Improved log management for backup, purge and restoring

·         Forensic data encryption

·         New Data Discovery Actions

·         Improved Log query filtering

·         Policy Deployment Status

·         Tree-view support for Endpoint Selection

·         Popup Alert for Device Control

Worry-Free Business Security 7.0 Critical Patch B1357

Details:

The following issue may occurs after customer install WFBS7.0:

• Users may get ESENT event ID 490 in the Application Event Log after the Security Agent is installed.
• Performance issues may occur when saving Microsoft Office files on a 64-bit server shared network drive. This often happens when saving excel files.
• The WFBS 7.0 server may slow down the performance of some servers after a few weeks.

Recommended Action:

To resolve these issues, please install Worry-Free Business Security 7.0 Critical Patch Build 1357.
Note: Critical Patch Build 1357 includes fix 1347. For more information please refer to the 1357 readme file


After applying the critical patch, the following happen:

• Performance becomes normal when saving files on 64-bit server shared network drives.
• The Worry-Free Business Security Server releases unused resources to enhance system performance.

The solution list above will be also included in the next major Worry-Free Business Security 7 release package.

Don't Forget about Silent Installs!

I was just dealing with this question from a reseller, and thought it might be of interest to the wider community.

If you review the Install Guide - at page 95 (Chapter 3 Page 33) you will find information pertaining to recording a silent or unattended install script file.

Have a great day everyone!

Mac Users are completely safe...

...Well... That's what the Apple using community have been misled to believe.


Two new malware for Mac OS X were recently discovered. Even though there are indeed relatively fewer Mac malware compared with Windows, many Mac users who still believe they are somehow magically immune from attacks may run the risk of encountering any of these two...


Read on at the Trend Micro Malware Blog.
Not One but Two New OS X Malware


When you are done there... check out Trend Micro's solution Trend Micro Security for Mac which will be included in version 7.0 of Worry Free Business Security Advanced
