Press Release Summary = Access control solution for to floppy, CD-ROM, USB and other
mobile devices.

Press Release Body = SmartLine Inc. announced the general availability of DeviceLock
v6.1, end-point security software that prevents employees from using their corporate
and personal computing resources to siphon off valued information beyond the scope
of their jobs and outside the guidelines of IT security policy.

DeviceLock controls and audits activity at all peripheral ports and removable device
interfaces on Windows-based computers natively via Active Directory Group Policy
Objects (GPO) and/or DeviceLock management console. With DeviceLock, administrators
have precision control over which users and groups have what level of access to
which devices on which computers and when that access is allowed. DeviceLock
discretely manages any peripheral port and device interface with its layered
security architecture and White List options, ensuring that even users with local
computer administrator rights cannot tamper with policy enforcement.

With version 6.1, DeviceLock has a new option for handling audit records likely to
be preferred by auditors and compliance professionals. To achieve a level of
security and non-repudiation beyond that possible using the standard Windows Event
Log alone, administrators can now configure DeviceLock to save audit records locally
in protected format and collect audit records and store them centrally on a
DeviceLock Enterprise Server. And with DeviceLock security features activated, these
audit logs cannot be edited, deleted or otherwise tampered with, even by users with
local admin privileges.

DeviceLock 6.1 can also detect USB keyloggers and block any keyboards connected to
them. Attached between a keyboard and a computer, keyloggers are small hardware
devices that record every keystroke typed on the keyboard by an unsuspecting user.
Culprits who attach keyloggers to systems typically are looking to steal sensitive
data, such as passwords and IDs, as well as other personal or proprietary
information. In addition to the keylogger detection feature to root out this
escalating USB-based threat, the latest version of DeviceLock comes packed with
other new capabilities, such as blocking of external USB hubs.

A new Policy Template feature in DeviceLock allows administrators to establish a
policy file that can be saved, exported and imported for later use with any
DeviceLock console. To avoid tampering, these templates can be signed with
DeviceLock Certificates.

DeviceLock now also supports Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) reporting and Quality of
Service (QoS) parameters for managing network traffic. Administrators can use the
standard Windows RSoP snap-in to view the DeviceLock policy currently being applied,
as well as to predict what policy would be applied in a given situation.

Availability

DeviceLock 6.1 is available immediately. Prices begin at $35 (US) for a
single-computer license, or $7,400 for managing 1,000 computers. Discounts are
available at several volume levels and for educational institutions. A free, fully
functional demo is available for download at www.protect-me.com.
