Do your company's computers contain pornographic images? Are you sure? What about that strange guy down in Accounting--have you checked his computer? And if Ermintrude in Advertising gets sued by the RIAA for illegal downloads, are you sure they won't go after the company too? The people at
GuardWare LLC (makers of
iShield Plus 2.0) hope you're worried now, because they have a solution for you--the USB-based
File Audit Facility. Stick the gadget in a USB port, let the software run, then take it away and review what you found. BUSTED!
The FAF costs $195 (including the USB key) for a year's unlimited use, or $395 for a lifetime license. It sounds pricey, but a sexual harassment lawsuit costs a lot more. In my testing of iShield Plus, its pornographic image detection was quite impressive (I gave the iShield product a less-than-stellar rating for other reasons). In addition to reporting exactly what porn images were found, it lists all music files--significant if company policy bans music downloads. And it leaves no trace on the audited computer. GuardWare says it will help companies and government agencies "enforce sexual harassment and use of assets policies". Makes sense to me, and it's a good use of the technology.
