Intego announced the
availability of Flextivity 1.5, offering small and medium sized businesses (SMBs)
new features that make managing security and productivity for multiple devices more
efficient. According to the National Small Business Association, 40 percent of small
business owners manage their own tech support and 39 percent handle their own online
security without any outside help. Flextivity’s new updates help
address this pain point, providing an easy-to-use solution that’s designed from
the ground up for SMBs.
As the market’s first integrated cloud-based security
and activity monitoring
solution for Mac-based SMBs, Flextivity helps small businesses protect their network
and gives them powerful insight into employee activity and productivity.
The newest
version, Flextivity 1.5, includes new features that make managing multiple devices
more efficient:
* Bulk approval of devices: Administrators can authorize or decline multiple devices
at once directly from the “New Devices Alert” section, streamlining device
management.
* Improved application firewall rules: Unsigned apps, as well as printer and scanner
apps, can be whitelisted for network access. Each device user can also allow or
block unsigned apps on the network, taking the burden from administrators.
* IP address exception range: Administrators can use asterisks as wildcard
characters in IP address exceptions, making it easier to block a set of IP addresses
and reducing administrative overheads.
* Exclude Time Machine from Real Time Scanning: For improved scanning performance,
Time Machine can now be excluded from Real Time Scanning.
Built and delivered in the cloud, Flextivity is a comprehensive suite of affordable
security and monitoring tools that helps SMBs ensure their Macs are secured from the
latest Internet threats. Flextivity also gives SMBs the ability to control which
applications employees can access, as well as when they can access them. The
solution also includes web content filtering features and customized time and
location-based limits on Internet access to increase employee productivity.
Current Flextivity customers will receive the 1.5 updates automatically. Flextivity
can be purchased for a monthly subscription as a fully integrated solution or as
standalone products:
* Secure - Antivirus and firewall protection (starting at $3.50 per computer);
* Monitor - Detailed activity reporting, app and network usage control, enabling
employers and employees to bring greater transparency to their daily work stream
($8.50 per computer);
* Complete - Fully integrated suite with both Secure and Monitor ($12 per computer).
Discounts are available for volume purchases, and unlike other solutions, there is
no long-term contract or annual commitment. Flextivity is available in English,
French, German, Japanese and Spanish.
