Alladministration can be performed centrally, utilizing Microsoft Active Directory.
 After years of success in the European market we feel our DriveLock securityproduct is poised to deliver a complete data security solution for removable devicesto data sensitive organizations in the US market, states Mike Prieskorn, ManagingDirector CenterTools Software GmbH.
 We are having significant success in protecting sensitive data belonging toEuropean banks, insurance companies, financial organizations, militaryinstallations, healthcare facilities and government, and we feel the North AmericanMarket is in critical need of our technology.Â

 Unlike other data security solutions, Drive Lock does not complicate the processof providing security for mobile devices. Administrators find it easy to use sinceit can easily integrate with an existing Active Directory-based infrastructure andutilizes the familiar Microsoft Management Console for all administration. It alsoallows for central reporting of all device activity in a network. At the same time,it allows for granular control to adjust to any organization's specific securityrequirements, continues Prieskorn.
 Corporate losses as a result of the theft of confidential information are estimatedto be billions of dollars and according to the 2005 CSI / FBI Computer and SecuritySurvey losses due to unauthorized access and theft of proprietary information by farexceed the damage caused by viruses.Â
 But the risk is underestimated by most organizations - and attacks from inside aremore likely than attacks from outside the corporate IT Network. Computer crime isnot only present in large organizations, but any size organization that hassensitive data.Â
 Almost any device attached to a computer can become a vehicle for the theft ofconfidential and private information. Driven by the development of smaller memorychips these devices today have a large enough storage capacity to transport nearlyanything from customer databases to development blueprints and company strategies.Thanks to user-friendly operating systems, employees only need to attach thesedevices to your computer and walk away with critical data. The DriveLock datasecurity solution protects against such threats. It can also automatically andtransparently encrypt data that is copied to portable devices, such as USB thumbdrives. This ensures that lost or stolen devices don't result in a disclosure ofsensitive data.Â
 We are building a channel network of VARs that specialize in offering solidsecurity solutions to their security-conscious customers and we are committed tosupporting our resellers with the tools they need to professionally sell and supportDriveLock to their customers, continues Prieskorn.
