Some of the new features in GFI EndPointSecurity 2012 include:

Encryption for removable devices – even while on the road

Blocking access to USB storage devices ensures that no data is stolen from your organization; however, there are times when you need to permit your users to use portable storage devices. GFI EndPointSecurity 2012 therefore now includes the capability to encrypt data on USB storage devices.

When users connect to your network with a USB device containing unencrypted data, they will be prompted to enter a password and GFI EndPointSecurity will encrypt all the contents on the device. From then on, access to the data will work normally with the added benefit of being encrypted using a strong AES 128-bit algorithm.

GFI EndPointSecurity now includes Traveler Application, a program that enables users to access encrypted content when they are away from the office, in locations where the GFI EndPointSecurity agent might not be installed. The program can also generate a report of failed attempts to access encrypted devices.

You can apply encryption enforcement and access to the Traveler Application to certain users, user groups or to all users with exceptions. For peace of mind, a master administrator password enables the recovery of encrypted data when an individual password that was used for the encryption process is lost. No encryption key management is required.

Product update mechanism

GFI EndPointSecurity 2012 now updates itself automatically via GFI’s servers – this functionality allows GFI to roll out fixes immediately without troubling the administrator to download and install upgrades.

Database maintenance - rollover functionality

GFI EndPointSecurity already downloads, installs and configures Microsoft®SQL Server®Express Edition for its users and it now removes another administrative headache – database size limits. Based on the database size limit (4 GB) imposed by SQL Server Express, the product now also automatically rolls over and starts report logging in a new database once the original one is full.
