Taipei, Taiwan, Mar 09 , 2010 - Egis Technology Inc. (EgisTec), a leading provider of fingerprint biometrics and data encryption solutions announces today the release of Port Locker, a data protection tool to control data access via USB ports, printers and networks.
Every year, millions of dollars are lost due to data theft. In most cases, it is not due to a stolen or lost PC but simply through an in-house employee theft via copying or transfers to other devices or network. These unfortunate events can easily be prevented if access through these channels is being blocked. Port Locker is a simple yet secure tool which allows users to set “blockers” on individual channels and request passwords for authorised access. It ensures all-round protection for users who need to leave their PC unattended for any period of time.
"Going through the whole range of PC peripherals and looking at various channels where data security can be threatened, we decided to develop our own USB port blocking software to complement our expanding line of security products." said EgisTec. "In addition, we have added a few more features to enhance its capabilities to provide our customers with a complete, innovative and superior product."
Port Locker protects users from incoming threats of data theft via the use of removable devices such as pen drives, memory cards and flash drives. It also protects users from outgoing threats by blocking transfers via printers or through the network.
Key features of Port Locker include:
