Safend Auditor

Safend Auditor Overview:

• Comprehensive visibility of who’s connecting what to corporate endpoints
• Visibility over all USB, PCMCIA, FireWire and WiFi ports
• Granular record of all current and past device connections
• Quick ramp-up, zero overhead, short learning curve
• Simple and powerful reporting

Safend Auditor is a lightweight, intuitive, clientless software utility that illuminates enterprise endpoint blind spots – providing organizations with the visibility they need to identify and effectively manage endpoint vulnerabilities.

With Safend Auditor, administrators can differentiate between secure productivity enhancers, such as authentication tokens, and potential security threats, such as mass-storage MP3 players. Safend Auditor also tracks which WiFi networks employees are connecting to - secure encrypted networks or exposed public networks. Using data gathered by Safend Auditor, administrators can map out granular security policies that exactly meet their business needs.

Endpoints | What You Can’t See Can Hurt

You In the world of security, the unknown is always the greatest threat. In the realm of endpoint data leakage prevention, this threat is multiplied by thousands – and often tens of thousands - of individual ports, interfaces, and devices that connect to networks every day. With an estimated 60% of sensitive corporate data residing on these endpoints (IDC), and data loss via removable media harming more than 50% of companies (Forrester research)- today’s network administrators and security officers are getting up close and personal with endpoints. They’re looking for detailed, high-resolution visibility of actual individual endpoint activity - ongoing and historical. Because only through an in-depth understanding of what’s happening at the endpoint can security professionals define and enforce endpoint security policies that are in-line with real-world usage.

Safend Auditor | Knowledge is Power

Safend Auditor gives administrators the power to discover who>s connecting what devices to each and every corporate PC. A lightweight intuitive, clientless software utility, Safend Auditor illuminates enterprise endpoint blind spots – providing organizations with the visibility necessary to identify and effectively manage endpoint vulnerabilities. With Safend Auditor, administrators can differentiate between secure productivity enhancers, such as authentication tokens, and potential security threats, such as mass-storage MP3 players. Safend Auditor also tracks which WiFi networks employees are connecting to - secure encrypted networks or exposed public networks. Using data gathered by Safend Auditor, administrators can map out granular security policies that exactly meet their business needs.

Rapid Scanning of All Network Endpoints

With no endpoint client installation required, Safend Auditor transpaently and rapidly queries all organizational network endpoints, locating and documenting all devices that are or have been locally connected. Safend Auditor checks all USB, PCMCIA, FireWire, and WiFi ports – granularly identifying endpoint devices connected for each user, both currently and historically.

Easy to Understand Reports

The results of the Safend Auditor audit are viewable in HTML format, or as an XML table that is easily exported to Excel or other applications for additional analysis and review. The report identifies devices by type, manufacturer, model and serial number, and users according to their Active Directory definitions.

Endpoint Control | Integration With Safend Protector

Safend Protector is the industry’s most comprehensive, secure and easy-to-use endpoint data leakage prevention solution - controlling every endpoint and every device, over every network or interface. Seamlessly integrated with Safend Protector, Safend Auditor allows easy transfer of devices discovered in audits to Safend Protector’s “whitelist” of approved devices.
