GFI Software recently launched its EndPointScan, a free of charge online service, which is said to enable users to be aware of the tools connected to PCs on their network and by whom they have been connected. With the use of this problem-solving device, the users are allowed to make out those areas where the utilization of portable storage devices might cause a threat to the integrity of the company’s systems and data. The wild utilization of portable mass storage devices, like smartphones, CDs, floppies, MP3 players, handhelds, iPods, USB sticks and digital cameras, built-in with data theft methods like ‘pod slurping’, are a main risk to network security and might cause security violations, data theft, viruses and other malware, which are being uploaded to a company’s network.
Identifying what tools are connected on the users’ network and the risk caused by them is the 1st move towards lessening these threats and for this EndPointScan has been brought about. EndPointScan performs grainy checks through all kinds of ports comprising USB, Infrared, Firewire, Bluetooth, PCMIA and Wi-Fi, on all systems. This utility claims to make available comprehensive and meticulous info regarding all handy tools and is capable of scanning many PCs all together. GFI EndPointScan is at one with recent network management or administrative devices like Active Directory and will also perform on Vista systems. EndPointScan is fully free of charge.
