Paris, February 19, 2005– The French provider of encryption and security software has recently presented the new version of its flagship product: ZoneCentral v2. The technological choices of these experts in cryptography establish ZoneCentral as a valuable asset for any company anxious to secure its computers as well as its data.
ZoneCentral is a simple-to-deploy security software which is transparent for the user and automatic for the administrator. This solution offers enhanced security by encrypting data and restricting access to identified and authorized users only. Without affecting the way in which your data is organized, ZoneCentral protects your files and folders in place: on local disks, laptop computers, removable media or servers.
Real-time automatic encryption of the swap file and temporary files reinforce the computer's security. Similarly, any deletion or reduction of files result in wiping.
The new features of ZoneCentral v2 mainly relate to deployment and administration scenarios of the security plan (graphical interfaces, simplified processes, automation) as well as new encrypted containers. The administrator in charge of the security can give encryption directives via the graphical automaton (responsible for the application) which can then encrypt a particular folder, a user profile, a complete volume or even the whole workstation. These operations may be carried out step by step or automatically, in place or remotely on all the computers connected to the network (remote zoning).
This version of ZoneCentral is also equipped with additional features for users. For instance, the software includes a component called Zed! which allows the creation of encrypted containers. Each user may then send or receive encrypted attachments. Their use is fairly similar to that of 'zip' files under Windows XP.
ZoneCentral v2 automatically detects USB memory keys and offers an encryption option. Together with the option of disallowing the creation of clear removable volumes, it offers a 'read only or encrypted writing' mode. "This option is very popular among security specialists!", says Michel Souque, Chairman of Prim'X Technologies. "Especially when considering the speed at which such media are widely implemented in companies and the rate at which they are stolen or lost. Indeed, it is quite easy to load one's key with data before leaving the office in order to continue the work at home and then to simply misplace the key and lose all the information that it contains. The damage is far worse than the actual value of the item if a competitor gets hold of it."
