eSafe 5 FR2 is a very important stage in the eSafe evolution. It follows the shift in threat types to web surfing attacks, and the desire of customers to implement a single gateway content security solution addressing the obvious security issues. Specifically, these include web threats such as Spyware, Trojans and Phishing. Customers also need productivity - at the gateway, this translates into blocking access to malicious, non-productive and inappropriate site categories, as well as monitoring web usage by users or groups.
eSafe 5 FR2 with the profile-based URL Filtering add-on means customers can achieve it all. They no longer need install other products to benefit from profile-based URL filtering. This is a very important step, as it brings eSafe into direct competition with URL filtering vendors on the market. However, no other solution offers the extensive security of eSafe, which can match and probably beat most other URL filtering products.
On top of security and productivity, another gateway aspect of importance - especially to schools, universities, libraries, and other public computer centers - is safety, or child-safety. eSafe 5 FR2 adds user identification methods, ideal for these situations, enabling children to safely surf the web, protected from offenders and damaging web content, while enabling less restricted access for adults, teachers and administrators.
For more information, and a full list of eSafe 5 FR2 features, contact your Aladdin eSafe representative.
eSafe MCSG places a gateway between the Internet and the cellular provider's network. Every smartphone that connects to the cellular provider's network then receives their MMS messages and browses the Internet after the traffic is inspected by eSafe MCSG. This includes MMS messages and attached files, all SMTP email messages as well as WAP and HTTP content. eSafe's multilayered security approach provides comprehensive protection against mobile content security threats, such as viruses for handheld devices and email-borne spam and phishing.
To learn more, contact your Aladdin Representative.
eSafe MCSG now includes a new, patent pending Hostile Operation Flow Analysis (HOFA™) technology that stands as the first proactive virus protection for cell phones. The release of this new technology accompanies fast-increasing adoption among mobile operators. The HOFA technology, based on research by the Aladdin eSafe Content Security Response Team (CSRT), is a new addition to eSafe's existing sophisticated code emulation that inspects executable code in real time. HOFA adds proactive security by identifying malicious code with the first variant, blocking all of its descendents. Instead of creating regular signatures, HOFA creates a strict logic model of the malware's execution flow. This guarantees nearly 100-percent proactive recognition of a malware family.
Two new versions of Spyware Neutralizer will soon be released: Spyware Neutralizer Net - this is the clientless scanner that an administrator is able to run from within the local network to scan and neutralize workstation spyware. This requires users to be logged into a Microsoft network domain.
Spyware Neutralizer Web - this is an ActiveX spyware cleaner component which enables users to surf to or be redirected to a dedicated web page from which it is run, neutralizing any existing spyware without installing any client software. This is useful for periodical planned spyware scanning, or for automatic redirection in case of the detection of outbound spyware communication from an infected workstation when the eSafe AppliFilter add-on is in use.
Contact your Aladdin representative for your copy of the latest Spyware Neutralizer brochure.

How can I use the same eToken for both smart card logon and password-based Windows logon?
|
| |
With the new eToken Windows Logon (GINA) 2.5, users can use a single eToken containing both a smart card logon certificate and Windows network logon credentials (username, password, and domain) to perform secure Windows network logon. The available logon method(s) – i.e. certificate and/or password based – can be defined by the administrator.
eToken Windows Logon (GINA) 2.5 also enables the use of eToken for secure Windows authentication even when the machine is not part of domain, providing a strong authentication solution for stand-alone machines. |
