Security Software is First to Tackle Disquieting Problem of Insider Threats

Weakest Link in Computer Security Strengthened

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Unity Solutions' revolutionary,
system-level computer security program Lanxoma (www.lanxoma.com) launched at
the prestigious DEMOfall 08 emerging technology conference in San Diego this
morning (www.demo.com).
Lanxoma Restricted Access Permission System (RAPS) from Unity Solutions is
the first product to address the need for data security from the inside,
creating a permanent, digital record that deters abuse, provides
accountability and satisfies the most stringent auditing standards.
To date, IT management has done everything possible to safeguard the
systems and data of their organizations. They have implemented password
protection for applications, validated data ranges, fire-walled PCs and
secured networks.
What has been impossible, until now, is to deter the "insider threat."
Lanxoma is software that requires technicians to request permission for
root access to systems. Management provides access for a pre-determined period
and Lanxoma advises the technician that all activity will be digitally
recorded. If evidence of abuse is required, every mouse movement, keystroke,
screen action and audio output can be "replayed."
Lanxoma is an enterprise-level, cross-platform, software-based solution
that provides IT technicians controlled access to privileged systems - then
records what they do while inside. Management authorizes access and can later
review precisely what IT workers did.
Said Unity Solutions founder and CEO Manoj Patel, "Sometimes you need to
'see' what IT workers with privileged system access have been up to - where
they went inside your system, and exactly what they did while they were there.
It's been a hit-or-miss chore. What if you could 'see' everything the original
user saw - in real time? That's what Lanxoma does."
"We are all becoming increasingly aware of the potential damages that can
be caused by insider threats There are stories in the media almost on a weekly
basis and so there is a growing need for enterprises to adopt better
technologies, such as Lanxoma, to protect the core of the network," said
Charlotte Dunlap, Senior Analyst, Information Security, Enterprise Strategy
Group.
Lanxoma deters abuse by recording every action (keyboard, mouse, screen
and audio). Lanxoma acts as a deterrent and offers evidence - like a CCTV
camera in a bank.
Lanxoma isn't just a deterrent. It's also a safeguard that provides
protection for IT workers - without the need for constant screen-captures,
print copies and old-fashioned paper files. Lanxoma's recording capabilities
also serve as a training tool that lets workers see precisely what they've
done right - or wrong.
Lanxoma is a stand-alone, cross-platform solution that works across
networks and supports Windows XP, 2000, 2003, 2008, Vista and Terminal
services. Lanxoma integrates to existing enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems, and is highly scalable. Lanxoma is targeted at multiple tiers of
business with four different versions, serving small and medium enterprises
with as few as 25 users, to Fortune 500 giants, public companies, Enterprise
Resource Planning software users and government agencies with thousands.
Customizable implementation, along with ongoing support and maintenance is
available for any client with a need for controlled-access security and
regulatory compliance solutions, from pharma and finance to insurance and
industry.
Targeted markets include aerospace and defense, distribution, education,
energy and utilities, engineering and construction, financial services, food
production, healthcare, information and communications technologies, leisure
(casinos, resorts, hotels), pharmaceuticals, retail, and telecommunications.
Lanxoma entered beta testing with one of the world's largest
pharmaceutical companies in April. In August, Lanxoma went live in the
workplace, with 30 stations utilizing the system at a UK location of a US-
based Fortune 500 company. From September through the end of 2008, Lanxoma
will roll out to over 2000 clients across Europe.
"We're proud DEMOfall 08 is the launching ground for Lanxoma," said DEMO
Executive Producer Chris Shipley. "It's a unique and revolutionary computer
security product that fills a long-open gap with an immediate, one-stop
solution."
