BufferZone Enterprise
REVIEWED BY GREG BALAZE
TrustWare
Price: Starts at $2,899 per 100 licenses
With the information security field seemingly saturated with every possible appliance and software, it would seem there's little room for an innovative approach. TrustWare's BufferZone belies that notion.
TrustWare's BufferZone works by quarantining suspect or restricted applications, creating a protected environment for each Web- or network-based application, such as Web browsers, IM, email and P2P applications, preventing viruses or malware from entering and affecting the rest of the workstation.

Instead of designing a management console, BufferZone relies on Microsoft's native Group Policy Objects to manage and deploy BufferZone and its installation file. This allows easy integration with Active Directory and reduces the learning curve, through a group policy template that uses the familiar management console (MMC). Simply copy the administration file to the c:windowsinf directory and add it to the GPO administration templates. Deployment was just as easy, using GPO and software installation packages by copying the .MSI file to a shared drive from which it's deployed to workstations as users log in.
