Is Flexible Desktop Lockdown Possible?

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Companies take the matter of protecting and securing their laptop and desktop environment quite seriously. However, most compliance approaches require the OS to be completely locked down. This approach limits an end-user's full desktop experience and can prove to be unproductive. Darren Mar-Elia, who has more than 20 years of experience in information technology and software development, will explore the various methods you should consider to protect and control your desktops while also understanding the impact on the end user community.

Next, Alex Shoykhet, Viewfinity's Director of Product Management, will discuss a flexible approach designed by Viewfinity that addresses the entire scope of how you can lock down your environment without creating unnecessary restrictions on the end user. Through the use of automated policy settings, lockdown policies can be applied for multiple dimensions of configurable, logical groupings: departments, applications, end users, connectivity status, time of day and more. Alex will demonstrate the following Viewfinity features:

• Privilege Elevation and Management
• Whitelisting
• Application Blocking
• Configurable Compliance Policy management

Sean Power, IT Security Manager for Lathrop & Gage, a 700 employee law firm, will present how his firm is moving its desktop environment toward being more of a locked down, least privileges operation. Of primary concern to them was the ability to be able to support its numerous attorneys who work at various off-site locations, from courthouses, client sites, branch offices, and other remote areas. Sean needed a method for elevating administrator rights for his mobile workforce, quickly and efficiently. During this presentation, he will discuss how he is solving this IT problem.
