Safend Analyzes Suspicious Behavior and Provides Built-in Polices for Regulatory Compliance

(Aprl 23, 2008)-- Safend, provider of endpoint Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solutions, announced the release of Safend Reporter, a data analysis tool that reports on data accessed by removable storage devices and wireless ports, providing extensive security and operational reporting that enables data security and regulatory compliance. Safend Reporter is offered as an add-on module to Safend Protector and provides a graphical, high-level view of the organization's status, allowing administrators to quickly and easily detect irregular or suspicious behavior.

The reports present data in a clear and easy-to-understand dashboard format that can benefit all viewers, including non-technical personnel and executives. Through drill-down capabilities, Safend Reporter also delivers detailed reports to data security personnel within the organization. The security reporting tool enables easy detection of specific employees and departments that frequently disregard internal security policies, while the administrative reports assist in the deployment, policy distribution and compliance with industry regulations and overall visibility of endpoint activity within the organization.

Coupled with the latest release of Safend Protector v3.3 that features built-in compliance policy settings for HIPAA, PCI and SOX, Safend Reporter provides comprehensive regulatory compliance reporting that helps meet the data accountability requirements of these and other compliance standards.

"With the regulatory compliance reporting mandates of SOX, HIPAA, PCI and others, the effective use of data security intelligence has become increasingly necessary and the need for comprehensive reporting is more important than ever," said Gil Sever, CEO of Safend. "Safend's endpoint DLP solutions enable granular control over every potential endpoint leakage channel and Safend Reporter provides the visibility and analysis tools organizations need to stay ahead of data security risks and compliance reporting requirements."

Key reporting and compliance features in Safend Reporter and Safend Protector v3.3 include:

-- Built-in Policies for HIPAA, PCI and SOX Compliance -- Includes built-in policies with the recommended settings for each regulatory standard.These built-in policies can be applied "as is" or can be modified to better
accommodate the specific organization's security and business needs.
-- Compliance Guidelines -- Includes detailed guidance explaining the specific impact of the policy, security settings and the associated mapping of these settings to regulatory policy statements.
-- Policy Distribution Reporting -- Enables administrators to view the entire range of security policies applied to the organization and its overall security policies. It also helps identify endpoints that do not have a valid policy applied to them.
-- Security Incidents Reporting -- Produces reports by the organizational units, specific users and computers that are violating the corporate security policies or committing an extraordinary number of "allowed but
suspicious" activities.

Safend Reporter is an add-on module to the Company's award-winning Safend Protector solution.
