Safe’n’Sec Pro new solution announcement at CeBIT 2007

http://www.safensoft.com/security.phtml?c=83&id=1134

-{ Quote: "Safe’n’Sec Pro has got several new features important for users especially in field of increasing the level of provided protection. In particular new solution has got an “Application live zone” when user can set the zone of application execution (Restricted/Normal/Trusted). That means the most vulnerable applications (Internet Explorer for ex.) can be executed in a restricted zone thus preventing PC from possible attacks and this application usage by malicious code. Besides, new option is automatic update of trusted applications’ list and automatic creation of activity control rules for “just arrived” trusted applications thus lowering the amount of false alarms.

Commercial Safe’n’Sec Pro versions will be supplemented with new Safe’n’Sec Rootkit Detector (RD) module developed for hidden kernel-level modules (drivers) detection, system function interceptors detection and hidden processes search which now is in the stage of beta testing. Commercial release of Safe’n’Sec Pro is planned for summer 2007.

Along with increasing the level of provided protection new product has become more easy to use what is important for novice PC users. Particularly concerning rules editor which now allows combining rules in logical groups and setting this or that rules group for particular application. Besides, Safe’n’Sec Pro user can set validity period of certain activity control rules. Rules creation for the specified user only is available so that Safe’n’Sec could run in different ways for advanced user (ask questions about suspicious application) and novice user (just block suspicious application).

Besides, Process manager in Safe’n’Sec Pro displays processes in a logical tree view and for user convenience can display unknown processes only.

This software offers new approach to computer security and provides efficient protection from new viruses, targeted attacks, insiders and insecure actions of novice users with minimum additional efforts. Safe’n’Sec Pro will be presented in versions for home users, SMB, enterprises and special version for access to confidential data protection Safe’n’Sec Timing. All Safe’n’Sec Pro versions will be compatible with Windows Vista 32 bit. Compatibility issue with 64 bit will be solved at the end of 2007 year." }-

Thanks for the heads up, it certainly does look exciting. Not that I´m a big fan of Safe N Sec, but nice to see that they are still actively developing the app and are adding new features. ;)

But they should also try to make the activation method more flexible, since it is easy to exceed the 5 activation limit nowadays for users who may want to change the security software matrix at regular intervals.

I bought a license for SNS AV+ months before 2.5 was officially released. I was using a trial license before and I kept getting problem when trying to activate the official 2.5 build with my bought license. Safensoft's technical support personnels were really helpful and they had even emailed me alternative license keys to try but none of them worked. I just got stuck with the trial license which would expire tomorrow. Finally, I uninstalled my 2.5 build today, then downloaded and installed build 3119 and my purchased license key suddenly worked. I agreed that the online activation should have been easier and more flexible.

By the way, does anyone know if there is a separate BD engine SNS AV+ available for download? I had downloaded build 3119 trial version and it only came with Dr. Web as the AV engine.

Hm...I think the old version with the BD engine is not possible, since the license of BD with Safe'n'Sec may have expired, so that Safe'n'Sec will not be able to offer the old version with the BD engine anymore.

Thanks Chubb. That's what I thought too. I really like 2.5 as far as process control is concerned. It is quite user-friendly (with the simple interface) and powerful (with the advanced interface). I am looking forward to the Pro version.
