iPass announces Online Service That Unifies the Connection, Protection and Management of Remote and Mobile Devices  
September 2007   

iPass, Inc., announces iPass Device Protection Online, a service that mitigates the risks related to use of the Internet, USB ports and rogue applications, without requiring the up-front and ongoing investment in new enterprise infrastructure. When combined with the iPass mobility platform, iPass Device Protection Online can unify the connection, protection and management of remote and mobile devices into a single offering.

Organizations must keep their remote and mobile workforce productive while protecting corporate and customer data. iPass Device Protection Online, a result of the continued partnership with Symantec, integrates Symantec’s policy-based device protection with iPass’ ability to assess and update devices on-the-fly as an integral part of the connection process, meeting the needs of both end-users and the enterprise IT department.

The iPass Device Protection Online service works to continually guard devices and their data from boot to shutdown through the following key features:

- Internet lockdown: at system boot, restricts Internet use to trusted applications and servers

- Pre-VPN assessment and remediation: performs a device health check upon Internet connection and updates the device, if necessary, to bring it into policy compliance, all without requiring user intervention

- Web-based policy management: lets IT implement policies via a web-based interface

- USB lockdown : at system boot, blocks output of data via USB ports, blocks the read, write and execute permissions on removable drives; and disables unapproved devices

- Application protection: blocks rogue applications while allowing authorized programs to run

- Policy enforcement: unlocks Internet and USB port access only upon confirmation of policy compliance

- Adaptive policies: allows for different policies to be implemented based on connection type and access location

- Availability:

The service is offered on a subscription basis. The iPass Device Protection Online service is now available through iPass and its solution provider partners.
