September 28, 2004 (Press Release) --
SENFORCE TECHNOLOGIES UNVEILS SPF+ ADVANCED HACKER PROTECTION
Industry’s Strongest Corporate Personal Firewall Features Secure Wireless Connectivity Control
Senforce Portable Firewall Plus is Sensible Choice for Small and Medium Businesses, Offered at Low Introductory Price
Santa Clara, Calif.—September 27, 2004—Senforce Technologies™ Inc., the leader in location-aware enterprise endpoint security, today announced the release of Senforce Portable Firewall Plus (SPF+). Designed to provide the ultimate hacker protection for small and medium-sized businesses, SPF+ also successfully stops the widest range of security threats, such as denial of service (DoS) attacks, buffer overflows and more. In addition, to maintain business productivity, SPF+ provides powerful security for mobile and wireless clients. As users move from location to location, computing devices are automatically shielded from port scans and sniffers, and protected against risks such as those that can be caused by downloading data to small removable storage devices.
The wireless security measures built into SPF+ manage risk by assuring that users only connect to known and accepted wireless LANs, enforcing security policies tailored to wireless hotspots, and preventing employees from inadvertently allowing outsiders to enter your network undetected. SPF+ as well as the Senforce enterprise solution, Enterprise Mobile Security Manager 2.5 (EMSM 2.5), features the following powerful Senforce core technologies:
 NDIS-layer firewall for the strongest level of protection against digital threats
 AccessAware™ technology to provide wireless connectivity control
 LocationAware™ technology to ensure that security policies follow mobile users
 Quarantining to protect against virus infections by ensuring that anti-virus software is updated before reconnecting to the network
The Problem: What’s wrong with other Firewalls?
Other personal firewalls run at the application layer and therefore are unable to block all the types of attacks that plague businesses. They do not provide wireless connectivity management or storage device control. They use up significant processing cycles, slowing system performance. And they often check virus definition files for updates only when a system reconnects to their network, which is too late; by then, blended threats like the Sasser worm may have already compromised the system. Also, because other products were built for consumers and not for business, they ask the users to make security decisions, often resulting in the user disabling the product altogether with the resultant vulnerability for any size organization.
Pricing and Availability
SPF+ is available at an introductory price of $39.99. It is sold in packs of 5, 10, 25 or 50, with quantity discounts. SPF+ is primarily targeted to small businesses and medium-sized organizations.
