ProGuard offers active security for your network. Using the flexible access rights management, you can regulate who is allowed to execute which types of programs and who isn’t. The installation of private software from home and of other unauthorized software, the execution of harmful script files and unauthorized access to unreleased programs is effectively prevented.
ProGuard provides active virus protection and safeguards your defined system environment.
ProGuard's integrated license management checks legal security and ensures maximal legal protection, limiting the access to software packages to the number of existing licenses. ProGuard supports most of the common license models and documents the usage of existing licenses with detailed statistics.
While Firewall and virus scanners protect your network from external dangers, PCs and laptops with CD drives, USB ports and Internet access pose a hazard from within the system. Unwelcome software, risky scripts, games or viruses can infiltrate your network. The results: The PCs defined software environment may be altered, the maintenance overhead increases, and the network’s stability and the level of security are endangered.
ProGuard's Access Management puts you in control of who can start specified applications and which applications are strictly forbidden. In this respect it makes no difference whether or not the client PC is connected to the network.
This doesn't mean ProGuard sees only black and white. With ProGuard Access Management, you have a flexible system at your disposal for defining which types of file are monitored and which users can access them. ProGuard makes sure the applications your users need are available when they need them, while making it impossible to open or run unwanted programs.
A broad selection of configuration options lets you distribute access and execution privileges as precisely as you need to. You can even restrict application access to particular times of day.
Even with this flexibility, ProGuard administration is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3 thanks to its intuitive user interface. Moreover, your very first steps in ProGuard are further simplified by the pre-defined application packages that come with the program.
With ProGuard you can block unwanted file types. This lets you prevent the infiltration of viruses through scripts. Of course, exceptions to the rule can be defined for files of the same type.
Even in the offline mode ProGuard provides reliable access protection, prevents illicit software from being installed and keeps blocked files from being executed. Even when the PC is not connected to the server, e.g. during the use of PCs outside the office, ProGuard assures compliance with defined access rules.

Features

• Sharing by user, group, client or time
  Sharing of applications can be allotted for specific users, for groups, for particular IP address areas, for workstations and even for time intervals.
• User sharing according to a variety of criteria
  Applications can be individually authorized or as a packet. It is also possible, for instance, to authorize all applications that have been installed by a reliable user, e.g. from the administrator or a particular group of users.
• Offline function
  Access control stays active on computers temporarily not connected with the network. It prevents use of unauthorized programs.
• License management
  Licensing conditions are centrally configured and controlled. ProGuard monitors the compliance of license conditions and promotes maximum legal security. All common license models are supported.
• Script control
  In view of the fact that only scripts that have been authorized by the administrator can be executed, viruses are actively blocked.
• Simulation mode
  Effects of configuration changes can be tested in run time without disturbing the system.
• Signature control
  Because applications can be identified by unique signatures, an evasion of the system is impossible.
