Asgent, Inc.
(JASDAQ: 4288)

  Asgent, Inc. (JASDAQ: 4288, President & CEO: Takahiro Sugimoto, located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo), a pioneer in network security and operations management solutions, announces the sanitization solution "Votiro Disarmer" (formerly Votiro Secure Data Sanitization) has reached Ver.8.2, and that the management functionality has been greatly strengthened.

[Votiro Disarmer]
  Votiro Disarmer places importance on the possibility that a file could contain malware, and sanitizes all sorts of files that enter from external sources. Various file types including Office, Ichitaro, PDF, CAD etc. are supported, and particularly regarding the Japanese language word processor software "Ichitaro", made in Japan, that is widely used by many organizations, thanks to cooperation on the part of the developer Just Systems, Votiro Disarmer was the first to support this file type. Due to this, currently the product is deployed in 46 prefectures or municipalities within those prefectures*3, and is the de facto standard in the market.

[Strengthened Management Functionality]
Votiro Disarmer Management   In this new version, requests from users for easier policy configuration and visualization have been reflected, and the management functionality significantly strengthened. The main features are as follows.

  • Simpler sanitization policy settings
    Previously, the sanitization policy was written in XML, but by transforming the management screen into a GUI, actions by file type (sanitize, don’t sanitize, block etc.) can be configured simply. Also, exceptions allowing for attached files from specific e-mail addresses to be excluded from the sanitization process can be set, making operations more manageable.
  • Sanitization situation visualization
    The portal screen shows statistical data including the number of sanitized files, the file type, average time for each sanitization etc., allowing the sanitization situation in the organization to be easily understood.
  • Zero-day Detection
    By rescanning the original pre-sanitized file (the archived file) with the latest antivirus signatures on a period basis, when malware is detected, it is shown on the management screen. This allows the administrator to grasp the extent of potential malware that could have entered the organization had Votiro Disarmer not been used, and include this information in reports.

[Other new functionality]

  • Support for password protected compressed files
    When password protected files (standalone files, email attached files) are imported into Disarmer, a dialog box is displayed for the user to enter the password, which Disarmer uses to decompress the file and sanitize the contents. Supported file types are ZIP, RAR and 7z.
  • URL reputation functionality
    When a URL is included in a file (Word, RTF, PDF), the URL is checked against an external database, and if the link is to a site that has a high risk of hosting malware or being a phishing site, the file is blocked and a PDF explaining the reason for blocking it is sent to the recipient.
  • Support for additional file types
    Support for Japanese only CAD formats JWW and SXF (SFC and P21) were added.
  • Sanitization processing performance and stability were greatly increased by a product architecture change.

Votiro Disarmer Ver.8.2 will start sales on February 28th, 2019, and sales efforts will be focused on financial, educational and critical infrastructure customers in addition to traditional regional municipalities and central government.
