- ProtecNet is one of a set of modular products in the Datasave family,
- offering comprehensive security for PCs in a networking environment. Its
- key focus is that it controls the usage of PCs, so rather than solving
- the problem AFTER the event, ProtecNet prevents the situation from
- occurring. Top antivirus experts around the world agree that the only
- method for solving the virus problem is through integrated systems.
- Users agree that prevention is far less costly than cure. ProtecNet is
- an access control engine that allows you to add other modules as they
- are required.
-
- Secure your data, your job, and your company's future. Every company
- needs to comply with the Copyright Act, Data Protection Act, and the
- Companies Code. Protec assures you peace of mind and reduces your risk
- of exposure to insolvency, loss of profit, loss of competitive edge,
- embarrassment and a possible prison sentence for you, your directors,
- and staff.

- "Security of data is like insurance. When you have none it eats away at
- your confidence but when you are fully insured the relaxation provided
- places a new dimension on life."

-
- ProtecNet is High Level Access Control for the Network. With Netware
- security, you (the Network Manager) have control over access to
- resources attached to the server. Now, with Protec Net you can be in
- control of all the resources around the entire network:
-
- ProtecNet gives you the power of centralised administration It controls
- the usage of PCs from a central location so there is no longer a need to
- make a physical visit to e; PC to install or remove security components.
- It will protect the data on the PCs from potential danger by users it
- prevents common situations such as a user deleting all their files in
- error. Such situations cause downtime, which is guarded against by the
- use of ProtecNet.
-
- ProtecNet increases productivity across the whole company. Firstly, the
- Network Manager doesn't have to physically visit each PC so his
- productivity is maximised. Secondly, now that all the workstations in
- the network are included under the Network Manager's control, the whole
- network becomes more efficient which reflects in the results across the
- whole company. There Is NO alternative to ProtecNet. It Is an
- absolutely necessary tool for any Novell network.

- Why security?
- _____________
-
- Some reasons....
-
- Over 30% of companies registering for bankruptcy in the USA did so as a
- direct result of employee dishonesty. (US Chamber of Commerce).
-
- Protection of data and systems is a requirement by law. (Data Protection
- Act, Copyright Act, United Kingdom Company Code).
-
- Like insurance, the benefits of good security are only noticed when
- something is lost, stolen or destroyed.
-
- Over £1 billion is lost by UK industry each year through fraud. (Coopers
- and Lybrand).
-
- Datapro's 1993 report on microcomputer security, The Need for
- Microcomputer Security cited several key sources of vulnerability:
-
- i) Disgruntled employees have sabotaged critical systems resulting in
- lost data and system downtime.
-
- ii) Competitors who previously stole paper files are now stealing floppy
- diskettes or monitoring their competitors' microcomputers.
-
- LANs are creating increased Security Risks More people have access
- to more company data now than ever before. In fact 45% of all
- respondents in a Price Waterhouse survey of average UK companies put
- the main cause of the problems down to the interconnection of
- systems. More than 26% were concerned that information systems
- increase the power of individuals to manipulate the system.
-
- iii) Hackers using PCs and modems are costing organisations hundreds and
- thousands of dollars by spreading viruses, pirating software,
- misusing credit cards and fraudulently obtaining airline tickets.
-
- One in four American companies participating in a 1993 Ernst & Young
- study for Information Week reported financial losses over the previous
- two years resulting from a malicious act, natural disaster or lack of
- system availability. the study also reported that 78% o~ organisations
- with over 1,000 employees indicated that risks have increased at a rate
- equal to or greater than the rate of growth of their computing resources
- in the last five years.
-
- Several organisations within the same study indicated losses of more
- than $1 million from a single security breach caused by an employee or
- outside source.
-
- Crippling Losses through lack of Adequate Data Security The same Price
- Waterhouse survey of average UK companies showed that 65% of those
- surveyed suffered financial loss and a startling 7% suffered near
- crippling losses through a lack of adequate information security. The
- report concluded that "nothing is said and little is being done" and the
- problems are getting worse.
-
- The Threat from Within
- ______________________
-
- There is a general agreement amongst consultants and industry
- specialists which is proven in case histories of fraud and breaches of
- data security that the major threat is from within the organisation. In
- an alarming 70% of cases it is the management or staff who commit the
- fraud or security breach.
