Array Networks, a specialist in application, desktop and cloud
service delivery, announced a partnership with SentryBay to provide
SentryBay’s EntryProtect anti-spyware capability for Array’s
DesktopDirect appliance-based remote desktop access solution.
DesktopDirect enables secure access to office PCs or virtual desktops
from any device and allows employees to work from any location. With
EntryProtect, Array’s solution can now prevent key logging and screen
capture on remote devices for greater security.
EntryProtect is a multi-layer approach to spyware that is designed
to provide end-to-end protection for all users. With EntryProtect
running on DesktopDirect, anti-spyware is controlled and maintained by
corporate IT in the network and not on end user devices, making
sensitive data such as user names and passwords safe from unauthorized
capture when entered into Web applications.
“We are pleased to be working with Array Networks to integrate
EntryProtect anti-spyware capabilities into the DesktopDirect product
line,” said Dave Waterson, CEO of SentryBay. “Incidences of spyware are
growing dramatically and our technology enables IT departments to rest
assured that users are not inadvertently transmitting critical company
information when they are working remotely.”
The company said DesktopDirect remote desktop access technology is
ideal for large scale deployment because it is easy to use, deploy and
manage. It also inherently poses very little risk of data leakage since
information accessed is only a projection on the screen. However,
spyware remains a concern with remote desktop in general as users still
control local keyboards and monitors. Array’s partnership with
SentryBay helps eliminate this risk.
“As attacks become more sophisticated, companies who deploy remote
desktop technology for access have to consider new attack vectors, and
capturing key strokes and screenshots are among the few vulnerabilities
affecting remote desktop access,” said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst
of security at Infonetics Research, Inc. “Array’s addition of
SentryBay’s technology to their remote desktop solution adds a critical
new layer of protection.”
EntryProtect is now included as an integral component on all
DesktopDirect remote access solutions, said Array product line manager
Lior Rapaport. “Adding anti-spyware capabilities to DesktopDirect
provides another level of security for our leading remote desktop
access solution,” Rapaport said. “Building on our reputation for
providing industry-leading secure access solutions, adding EntryProtect
to DesktopDirect enables remote users to gain access to corporate
applications with full confidence that they are not being monitored by
a malicious agent.”
