    SecureWave Sanctuary receives rave reviews and award

    SecureWave Sanctuary is the most robust endpoint security software solution for enforcing application and device usage policies. Sanctuary has just received multiple rave reviews by leading industry publications such as SC Magazine, eWeek and Information Security Magazine. Below is a summary of some of the recent accolades for Sanctuary.

    SecureWave’s Sanctuary Device Control 4.1 Awarded “Best Buy” Status from SC Magazine 

    Sanctuary Device Control 4.1 endpoint security software earned “Best Buy” status from SC Magazine’s product review lab, receiving five out of a possible five stars in its overall rating. Sanctuary is lauded for flexible and granular enforcement of acceptable device use policies, ease of network integration and deployment, comprehensive documentation, exceptional product support services and overall value.

     

    Product Rating

    We found this product to be fairly straightforward and easy to use. The installation process is guided by an HTML document that provides a step-by-step deployment process with live links to the executables and installers needed at specific points in the installation.
    With easy integration into either an Active Directory domain or a Novell network, this product has excellent flexibility.

    Device Control has useful documentation, including set-up guides, architecture layouts and quick deployment guides. We found all documentation to be easy to read and navigate.”

    SecureWave Gets High Marks from eWeek for Lock-Down Capabilities  

    “SecureWave's Sanctuary 4.1 is simply one of the most comprehensive security lockdown products eWeek Labs has seen to date, allowing an unparalleled granularity of control over user devices and settings.”

    “The first thing we noticed about Sanctuary was the incredibly deep level of control it provides. Not only can Sanctuary control access to pretty much any device we could think of (including USB drives, CD/DVDs, PDAs and infrared or wireless networking ports, among many others), but it is also bus or connection aware. For example, we could create different access rules governing the use of wireless network adapters connected via USB and those connected via PCI.”

    “Sanctuary's reporting and logging capabilities are outstanding. Prepackaged reports allowed us to easily pull up a user's or computer's specific permissions, while the logs allowed us to track pretty much anything under the sun, including the number of times a user accessed a device and when; how much of a copy limit a user has usurped; or violated access permissions over a defined amount of time.”

    “We particularly liked the audit log, which tracked Sanctuary itself, reporting what policy changes were made, by whom and when. Sanctuary also can be used to secure removable media devices with AES 256-bit encryption.”

    SecureWave’s Sanctuary 4.0 Earns Top Marks from Information Security in a Round-up Review of Device Control Solutions 

    Sanctuary 4.0 endpoint security software received top scores in a round-up review of device control solutions conducted by TechTarget’s® Information Security™ magazine - including a lofty “A+” grade for encryption, the best of any solution tested. Sanctuary is also commended for its out-of-the-box default-deny policy enforcement approach and bi-directional shadowing feature that records all information copied to or written from removable storage media.

    “We liked how SecureWave's Sanctuary Device Control comes out of the box with a default deny-all policy. No data was allowed to be transferred to external storage devices until we set up authorization. Allowing only what you authorize--instead of trying to blacklist what you don't--is sound security policy.”

    “SecureWave set the bar with two different types of encryption--centralized, which allows administrators to set the requirements, and decentralized, meaning an authorized user can decide when to encrypt. Additionally, you can export keys to a file or to the portable device for access to encrypted media offline, although we felt that this compromised the security of the portable storage device. SecureWave offers the strongest encryption, with AES 256.”
