ScriptLogic WinCloak Version 1.07
WinCloak™ (formerly ScriptLogic Cloak) is an innovative software product that enhances the Windows NT File System (NTFS) by providing increased security, more accurate audits and a vastly streamlined experience for users of the network.
Increased Security
Simply put, WinCloak provides increased security on NTFS volumes by adding "Out of sight – out of mind" filtering to the Windows file system. Once WinCloak is installed on your Windows Servers, users will only see the files and/or folders that they have permission to access.
"Out of sight - out of mind"
Without WinCloak, users can see all files & folders, even if they did not have permission to access them.
Once WinCloak is installed, users see only the files & folders that they have access to (based on NTFS security).
Streamlined Experience for Users
In addition to tightening security, WinCloak also helps to streamline your users' overall experience. Since users won't see folders and/or files that they can’t access, their directory trees are measurably less cluttered. They'll receive less "Access Denied" messages because they can't click on folders that are hidden from their view (whether their attempt was intentional or accidental).
More Accurate File Auditing
If you have enabled File System Auditing, WinCloak will also help by virtually eliminating any 'false positives' in your security event logs. Now when you review event logs and see "Object Access - Failure" entries, you can actually pay attention since the "I clicked on that folder by accident" excuses will no longer be accepted.
Even More Benefits
WinCloak is easily installed to Windows 2000/2003 Servers and its functionality can be enabled on individual disk volumes. In addition to filtering network requests on file servers, WinCloak can also filter local activity, making it an ideal solution for Terminal Servers and Citrix MetaFrame. WinCloak does not require user-specific configuration nor the installation of software agents onto their desktops.
