CoSoSys manifests its new software-as-a-service application to prevent data loss. With the innovative My Endpoint Protector (MyEPP), the company promises to aid companies in managing their internal and external security threats. It also assures users of control ‘in the cloud’.

Businesses and data can now be managed on all endpoints from a single centralized web console with MyEPP. The SaaS approach grants organizations the ability to reduce the risk of data leakage by cutting down on the internal data security threat, by controlling the way in which corporate networks and their users interact with each other.

Further, by employing usage policies excluding additional hardware or software, users can profit from enterprise-class endpoint security without applying for enterprise level in-house security expertise. MyEPP advantages include protection against data loss, data loss, theft or leakage and prevention of malware infection by controlled used of portables.

Users can also benefit from its device management and control by definition of specific rights for accessing the network and devices. An additional profit includes real-time monitoring of devices and data. It also allows the centralized use of web-based dashboard for simplified management and reporting.

Its perks additionally involve device activity logs that will grant a comprehensive audit trail and easy policy enforce by the use of customizable templates. In its offline mode, it protects PCs when disconnected form the network regardless of whether the user has administrative rights on that machine.

Roman Foeckl, CoCoSys CEO, shares, “Most businesses today are aware that they need to proactively protect both their own intellectual property and customer information held in trust on their systems. But the thought of having to hire dedicated staff or consultants to install, implement and manage this type of solution has prevented many from taking the steps needed to protect that data.”

He adds, “My Endpoint Protector makes enterprise-level device control and security accessible to even the smallest organizations without the need for expensive additional equipment or staff. Whether employees work from home, on the road or from remote locations, the security of their desktops and laptops can easily be centrally managed through the cloud.”

Increased incidents of security break-ins are being witnessed by businesses globally. Tools that ensure productivity have, in fact, turned to tools that cause security risks. The company has faith in the adoption of SaaS as an efficient way to manage the day’s distributed IT infrastructures.

The combination of enforced data encryption in transit with SaaS has developed an accepting environment for web-based endpoint security management. MyEPP requirements include Windows XP/ 2003/Vista (32 and 64 bit)/Windows 7, Net 2.0 framework and 32MB hard disk space.

It is compatible with USB flash drives, memory cards, internal and external CD/DVD players/burners, internal and external hard and floppy disk drives and card readers, ZIP drives, digital cameras, smart phones, BlackBerry, iPods and other MP3 players, FireWire devices, biometric drives, Bluetooth devices, printers, ExpressCards, Wireless USB and more.

MyEPP is available as a subscription service with an introductory price of $2/month. A free trail for the subscription is available from the company’s website.
