Data Loss Prevention now ‘easier’

SolarWinds LEM Workstation Edition supports log management, correlation and analysis from Windows workstations giving IT pros visibility and control over security including data leak prevention, operational and policy-driven events happening in real time.

Using its USB Defender Technology, SolarWinds LEM Workstation Edition monitors usage of USB mass storage devices, wireless devices and phones plus the processes and files accessed on mass storage devices. In addition, the USB Defender Technology can automatically detach devices that IT pros don't want people using -- either by user, device, or after they've done something suspicious.

SolarWinds LEM Workstation Edition is not a new product or a new version of SolarWinds LEM. It is a new pricing structure that utilizes a node-based license model, allowing IT pros to extend real-time log collection, correlation and analysis to Windows workstations while staying within a planned budget as they deploy and expand IT infrastructure across multiple datacenters and geographies.

"Recognizing that users may have tens of thousands of workstations versus the number of servers monitored, we've now made it easier for IT pros to deploy log analysis across an entire IT infrastructure cost effectively," said Sanjay Castelino, VP and market leader, SolarWinds. "Users will still need an instance of SolarWinds Log and Event Manager, but by paying per workstation, they will no longer need to pay for the next tier up in order to add more workstations."
