Safend Customer Testimonials

Baptist Memorial Health Care

“We have 6000 end-user computers, spread across our Corporate Center and 14 Hospital facilities - that's a lot of ports to secure. With HIPAA compliance necessitating data accountability, Safend's ease-of-use, audit capabilities, and integration with Active Directory simplifies requirements. It works 'as advertised'.”

- Lenny Goodman, IT Director for Desktop Management, Baptist Memorial Health Care
 

ConnectiCare

“While maintaining the privacy of our customers has always been a high priority for us, HIPAA has been a major driver of our current security policies. Simply telling more than 500 people not to use their USB ports was just not a realistic solution. I’m not aware of any other software that performs like Safend Protector. We ran the free USB Auditor tool, which is fantastic, and demoed USB Port Protector. Then we were told, ‘there’s more’ and we got a chance to use the newest solution, Safend Protector. I didn’t have to shop around. Safend Protector gives us what we need to maintain the privacy and integrity of our client information.”

- Bill Liston. IT Solutions Technician, ConnectiCare
 

Winterthur Swiss (Previously Credit Suisse) Life Insurance

“Most of the current endpoint security products don’t include the strong focus on device control that Safend Protector provides. Combining this protection with Safend Auditor allows us to see specifically the threats we’re facing. By presenting the two products, M Factory, in partnership with Safend, was able to provide us with a unique and comprehensive solution to a growing problem.”

- Kazunari Kurasaki, Group Head of Information Technology Division for Winterthur Swiss Life Insurance (Previously Credit Suisse Life Insurance)
 

Philadelphia Stock Exchange

“The theft of intellectual property is a major concern in most corporate environments, including ours, however, even more troubling for us is the risk of someone walking in here, plugging in a USB device, and uploading malware. Safend Protector will help us reduce that risk.”

- Allan Pomerantz, CSO, Philadelphia Stock Exchange

“Safend’s products are well thought out and actually accomplish more than we expected. The product is robust, helping us in our proactive quest to identify potential problems.”

- Gene Peters, Director of Information Services, Philadelphia Stock Exchange
 

Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. (TKT)

“After running a preliminary scan of our network using Safend’s USB Auditor we decided to be proactive and eliminate what could be a potential problem. My two areas of concern are the connections of unauthorized USB devices and the use of a rogue wireless device such as a wireless router. That’s what keeps me up at night. Safend’s USB Port Protector and Auditor combo was the first I ran across that had everything we needed. We’re able to scan and approve or restrict whatever we want and we’ve never had a legitimate device disabled.”

- Bob Litterer, Information Security Manager, TKT
 

SemiConductor Devices

"We have been using the Safend Protector since its release in early 2005, and we are very pleased with the smoothness and ease of use of the system. Since installing Safend, we have been able to easily monitor and control all device activity in our organization. Creating policies has been a simple task thanks to the friendliness of the Safend Management console, and there is hardly any maintenance required. Most importantly, the deployment of the Safend Protector Endpoint Client went very smoothly - no errors, no hassles, exactly according to the user guide's instructions – saving us time and needless effort."

- Michael Apt, IT and Security Manager, SCD
 

Maclay Murray & Spens

“We used Safend’s USB Auditor to run a preliminary scan of our network and were surprised at the devices that were currently and recently connected. It was clear we needed a better solution than simply shutting down all USB ports, which is the only alternative other services offered. We have more than 600 PCs that need to be secured, and Safend Port Protector gives us granular control, allowing us to adjust security settings to individual users. We feel Safend’s ease-of-use and strong anti-tampering features gave us security without forcing us to sacrifice productivity.”

-Crawford Hawley-Groat, IT Manager for MMS
 

Pechanga Casino & Resort

“As the largest resort and casino in California, we handle a high volume of private financial and personal data. Of all the solutions we researched, none offered the granularity of Safend; enabling us to define who in our organization will be connected to devices such as printers, iPods, DVD drives, etc. Other solutions only allowed us to turn everything on or off. Safend allows flexibility while providing us with device monitoring capabilities.”

- Gilbert Mendoza, Network Security Administrator for Pechanga Resort and Casino.
