Net Infrastricture news briefs

Fidelis Security Systems last week announced an upgrade to its data-leakage-prevention software that includes additional policy templates and new management features. DataSafe is designed to block the unauthorized transfer of sensitive or regulated data across network channels, including e-mail, HTTP, FTP, instant messaging and peer-to-peer communications. Instead of tracking who is granted access to certain data in an organization, DataSafe secures the information by analyzing content via statistics, pattern recognition and exact matching, and then prevents sensitive data from leaving the organization. In Version 3.8, the company has included templates that search for data related to the Department of Defense's data classification system and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. The latter is a means of enforcing data security standards in businesses that process credit-card information. Users can configure the templates to issue an alert when sensitive information is about to be sent from the organization, or prevent the data from leaving. DataSafe is priced at $65,000 per sensor for the 32-bit sensor and $95,000 for the 64-bit sensor. The management console is included free.

Funambol, a developer of open source data-synchronization software for mobile devices, has licensed its Sync4j mobile application server to CA, the company said last week. The software works with mobile devices supporting the SyncML standard to synchronize contacts databases and other information between devices. Funambol intends this year to expand Sync4j's capabilities to include push e-mail delivery. CA will use the software in its tools to manage mobile devices, such as smart phones, Funambol says. The company created a new research division, CA Labs, to study mobile applications, advanced applications on converged networks and service-oriented architecture.
