Safend Auditor
Safend Auditor is a light-weight, intuative, clientless software utility that illuminates endpoint blind spots within an organisation, this provides the visibility to identify and effectively manage enpoint vulnerabilities.
With Safend Auditor, administrators can differentiate between secure productivity enhancers, such as authentication tokens, and potential threats – such as mass storage MP3 players.
Safend Auditor also tracks which WiFi networks employees are connectibg to – secure encrypted networks, or exposed public networks. Using data gathered by Safend Auditor, administrators can map out granular security policies that exactly meet their business needs.
No endpoint client installation is required, Safend Auditor transparently and rapidly quieries all organisational network endpoints, locating and documenting all devices that are or have been locally connected. Safend Auditor checks all USB, PCMCIA, FireWire, and WiFi ports – granularly identifying endpoint devices connected for each user, both currently and historically.
Advantages of Safend Auditor
- Simple and easy to use – administrators simply choose the group of computers to audit, and view the result immediately
- Current and historical audits – reports all devices currently or previously connected to any endpoint
- Precise device identification – gathers detailed device information, allowing tailoring of security policies to exact vulnerablities
- Clientless – runs without endpoint client
- Low resource consumption – audits take minutes and do not effect network performance
- Intuative output – audit results are presented in easy-to-read HTML or XML report, easily exportable to MS Excel
- Seamless compatibility – fully compatible with existing network management or administrative tools such as Active Directory
- Endpoint specific audits – easy auditing of selected endpoints, Active Directory groups, IP address ranges, or the entire organisation
- WiFi auditing – discovers which WiFi networks each endpoint is connected, along with all relevant perameters such as the access point MAC address, SSID, and authentication and encryption scheme
- Aditional reporting functionality – additional filters allow scanning of network for specific type of device, resulting in significant time savings
