DeviceLock Receives Two U.S. Patents for Local Sync Control Technology

DeviceLock today announced that it has been granted two patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its local synchronization filtering technology. The patented technology allows businesses to control the transfer of data between endpoint computers and locally connected mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and PDAs, including Windows Mobile, Palm, iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices.

 An integral part of the DeviceLock software suite since 2007, this patented technology allows security administrators to centrally manage which types of data users can synchronize between corporate PCs and their mobile devices. Protected by US patents US7,899,779 and US7,899,782, DeviceLock’s local sync control technology significantly increases the level of corporate endpoint protection against data leaks. These can be caused by employees connecting personal smartphones or tablets to their office computers through a local interface and by mistake or negligence copying sensitive corporate information to their mobile device.

DeviceLock can recognize and filter numerous data object types for iTunes, ActiveSync, WMDC and HotSync protocols, letting administrators selectively allow or block synchronization of files, emails, email attachments, accounts, contacts, tasks, notes, calendar items, bookmarks, and various media types.
