Companies always pressure on more security when it comes to bringing together multiple computers in one or more locations on a network. The aim must be to build such a network to allow communication within the company without compromising whilst stopping an unauthorized intrusion completely from the outside.

INFOTECS with ViPNet OFFICE is this all in a highly secure and promising solution. The software builds a virtual private network (VPN). All authorized users can call each other for example, within this system via VoIP, video conference and see information from their CRM, ERP or intranet. Also VPN guarantees for the security of the network where remote sites are integrating with the network or when it comes to integrating mobile users.

ViPNet OFFICE is composed of three components. The administrator uses the ViPNet Manager to define the logical structure of the ViPNet-network. The ViPNet Coordinator is the communications center and acts as the tunnel server, as a proxy for encrypted connections or as a mail server for communication applications. The ViPNet client comes onto the computers of the VPN users to use. It provides a secure email client, an encrypted chat and file sharing and a personal firewall.

ViPNet OFFICE 2.1.1: As of now very easily set up a new VPN

The new version 2.1.1 of ViPNet OFFICE is equipped with a immensely improved wizard. The step-by-step wizard helps the VPN administrators to set up a new VPN. At creating the logical structure of a new VPN the wizard already collects all necessary information to prepare all configuration files that are required for the operation of the VPN.

Sergei Torgow from Infotecs Internet Security Software GmbH: "The setup of a new VPN is not without difficulties, even for IT professionals. It can easily lead to dangerous misconfigurations. Even if every modern Internet router now brings rudimentary VPN functions, it is an insurmountable task for non-specialists to link this router to a unique VPN structure. Our new wizard helps to avoid all obstacles and builds a complied secure VPN.”

As of now, there the product ViPNet TUNNEL is not offered anymore. Instead ViPNet OFFICE, a single compact product, is available which can be extended flexibly and, depending on the requirements, realizes various VPN scenarios. From the classical tunneling solution that combines for example the two offices, to global communications networks that brings together multiple partners in a secure manner, everything is possible.

New in version 2.1.1 ViPNet OFFICE is now that you can make updates centrally and via remote access on Linux machines.

Sergei Torgow: "Our software can even implement a robust and industry-suitable VPN solution. Thus, the ViPNet software are implemented on MiniPCs to allow in this way a safe outside access to the various control modules of a production line. "

Designed as a software based VPN solution ViPNet OFFICE 2.0 helps to create highly secured networks which deny any loopholes for hackers. Using this unique technology the level of security for a company network will be enhanced radically.

The new release 2.0 has been tested successful under the beta version of Windows 7 and works smoothly with that operating system. That means acquirement of ViPNet OFFICE 2.0 will turn out to be future-proof with upcoming Windows 7 – as well as with XP, Vista and all popular Linux distributions.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) gaining more and more in importance. They are helping to implement highly secured network solutions which are able to connect multiple locations and even mobile users into a consistent network.

INFOTECS from Potsdam, Germany, offers with his VPN-kit ViPNet OFFICE a modern solution which puts a deep focus on the aspect of security. The closed VPN repels hacking attacks from outside and inside dependably and permits all personal of the company to share information without any risk of security or to request data from CRM, ERP or intranet without distance or mobile access turning out to be an issue of danger.

ViPNet OFFICE consists of three components. The administrator of the VPN uses ViPNet Manager to appoint the logical structure of his ViPNet network. ViPNet Coordinator acts as a communication centre for the ViPNet network and can also be used as a classic tunnel server, as a proxy for encrypted connections or a mail server for the integrated secure communication applications. After all, ViPNet Client will be applied to the computers of all single ViPNet users. It offers a secure mail client, encrypted chat and file exchange and a personal firewall.

ViPNet OFFICE 2.0: Already fit for Windows 7

The implementation of a company VPN is a matter of trust. Administrators facing this challenge want to make sure that their new VPN solution is perdurable. For this purpose ViPNet OFFICE 2.0 has been tested – successful – with the public beta version of Windows 7.

Sergej Torgow from Infotecs Internet Security Software GmbH: “ ViPNet OFFICE 2.0 operates without problems under the available beta version of Windows 7. That assures that an already implemented VPN could be used with external beta testers in the company. It also could be used after an exchange of operating systems”.

ViPNet OFFICE: free-of-charge test version with 2 clients

ViPNet OFFICE is available in multiple stages of expansion and the light version is already obtainable for 199 EUR. A free-of-charge 60-day test version with two Coordinators and two Clients enables to test the solution in your own environment without any risk. A Client version which operates on Windows Mobile devices is also on-hand. Mobile personnel gets access to company resources using their PDA without compromising security.

With immediate effect ViPNet OFFICE is available with its new version 2.0. Many details have been improved and these are the most important innovations.

Interconnection of ViPNet networks: this new feature allows interconnection between multiple independent ViPNet networks. By this means different VPNs can be brought together to a “partner network”. For example, a supplier could get access to a highly secured virtual department of the company without endangering internal security. Another example: a support provider gets secure access to different networks of his customer without local implementation of multiple foreign VPNs at his location. An intuitive easy-to-use designed wizard helps the administrator to connect these different networks.

Enhanced ViPNet Manager: The management component of ViPNet OFFICE as been optimized and improved significantly. The wizard for creation of security backups includes new functions and offers partially automated workflows. It is also possible to limit the user interfaces of the ViPNet Client in three different levels using ViPNet Manager just to ensure that adjustments to the security policy of the company could be executed in a more accurate manner.

Revised firewall: the firewall integrated into Client and Coordinator has been completely revised and permits a much more detailed control of traffic.

ViPNet Coordinator as a NAT device: Now it is possible to appoint the ViPNet Coordinator as a NAT device for the LAN, which controls unencrypted traffic. Especially in smaller networks servers have to fulfil multiple tasks. This allows not-vpn-computers to use the Coordinator as an internet gateway.

ViPNet OFFICE 2.0: Try-and-buy: The light version of ViPNet OFFICE is already available for 199 EUR. A free-of-charge test version is downloadable directly from the INFOTECS homepage. A Client version which operates on Windows Mobile devices is also on-hand. Mobile personnel will get access to company resources using their PDA without compromising security.

They say what you entrust to your pc is nearly as public as a notice in the staff canteen. It is far too easy for unauthorized persons to copy sensible data privily to use them for their own purpose. If you want to store important files you have to make sure that they are hidden perfectly – just like Easter eggs. But as safe that no one could even find them.

With immediate effect the Windows program ViPNet Safe Disk 3.2 is available. This security software now supports the 64 bit operating systems from Microsoft Windows XP Pro (x64), Windows Vista (x64), Windows Server 2008 (x32/64) and even the unofficial Windows 7 (x32/64). It can be installed on the most advanced computers where it is much more likely, that sensible data has to be stored.

ViPNet Safe Disk 3.2 cares in a very effective way for more security. It creates container files inside the system which may be accessed just as logical drives with their own character – just using Windows Explorer or a save/open dialogue. The clou: as soon as new files are stored in such a logical drive the real-time encryption starts automatically and encodes the files with a 256 bit strong AES algorithm. Subsequent these files only consist of incomprehensible letters which no intelligence service in this world could decode in an arguable period of time.

To open this “safe” the legitimate user has to identify him to the software. The easiest way to do so is to enter his self-assigned password. But it is also possible to use an USB stick, a Smart Card or an iKey. Only when this security query was successful the safe would be opened and the contained data may be loaded in a readable form to the adequate application.

Since version 3.1 ViPNet Safe Disk offers an additional wizard, which purges traitorous traces left by the user when surfing the web or working on his pc. Regardless if it is the list of last opened files or the cache of the web browser: ViPNet Safe Disk eliminates all tracks of user activity. Even free space on the hard disk could be overwritten. On this place normally there are deleted files which are not completely destroyed so that they could be restored by a hacker. The price for the full version of ViPNet Safe Disk is 28,55 EUR.

Again there is a free edition of ViPNet Safe Disk 3.2 which is free-of-charge for private usage. This edition shows only two limitations. The multi-user mode is missing and only one container with a size of 100 MB can be applied.

March 27, 2009 – INFOTECS, a leading security software vendor, announces today windows 64 Bits Operating systems support for it’s Safe Disk 3.2. with new Bug fixes.

in addition to new bug fixes the new release supports the following operating system : Windows XP Pro (x64)/Vista (x64)/Server 2008 (x32/64)/Windows 7 (X32/64).

"ViPNet Safe Disk, by Infotecs GmbH is an interesting utility that helps you to encrypt any data that you want to keep safe. The program has an intuitive interface and is easy-to-use, making it perfect for users with all levels of experience. In testing the program I found that it creates "containers" that can vary in size. I created one of 500 megabytes and another of 3.5 gigabytes, just to see how well it worked. Each container uses a drive letter so you can easily access the contents with most software. I even saved some software reviews into the one container and it worked perfectly. Each container is automatically closed or "unmounted" when you shut down Windows or when you use the program to close a container. I put a bunch of documents in the containers and I couldn't tell any difference in performance. Keep in mind that while you're working on files in a container they are constantly being decrypted and encrypted. So, I was pleased to see that there was no performance hit while working. Once you close a container everything inside it becomes gibberish. That is to say, it's rendered unrecognizable. Another cool feature, meant to protect you, is the ability to automatically disappear. For example, say you have a power failure while you're working in ViPNet Safe Disk. It will automatically close any open containers and hide the tray icon. Slick.

ViPNet Safe Disk lets you create as many containers as you want assuming you have enough drive letters to go around. You can also create containers in any size as long as you have enough disk space. The program also has a couple of "modes" that allow you to have a "James Bond" moment if you want. For example, you can utilize "Danger" mode which urgently closes containers or "Extreme Danger" which wipes out a container and everything in it. Seems a bit extreme to me, but I guess some people want that capability. ViPNet Safe Disk is loaded with nice features that let you use it the way you want. So, if you'd like to have data that you know is totally secure, this may be your solution. Check it out."
