AVIcode announces Intercept Studio Version 2.3 with Advanced Security Features

AVIcode, an independent vendor of application fault-management software, announces its latest release of Intercept Studio featuring advanced, 4-layer security. According to Richard Mogul, Senior Analyst at Gartner, "Gartner estimates that more than 70% of unauthorized access to information systems is committed by employees, as are more than 95% of intrusions that result in significant financial losses." Intercept Studio now protects data from both inside and outside infiltration with this 4-layer approach:


Level 1 leverages your choice of native Windows security or Intercept's own proprietary security model to protect your event data from intruders outside of your company's user base. Users created in the system are assigned roles as either administrators or power users, and are required to authenticate into the system before viewing any application events.

Level 2 uses SSL to encryption-protect data in events sent from the exception and performance agents to the Structured Event Viewer.

Level 3 allows partitioning event data by users. Administrators can group all components (such as ASP.NET pages, web services, etc) that make up an enterprise application under a single application name, and then restrict users by which application names they can access. This feature allows datacenters to permit multiple user groups to access a single Structured Event Viewer Server without seeing the each other's data, developers and operations personnel to focus on their specific tasks, and end users to not worry that their data might fall into the wrong hands.

Level 4 allows administrators to completely disable monitoring for specific components or functions which may contain sensitive data. This final security level guarantees that you customers' data will fall prey to misuse.

Other new features for Intercept Studio version 2.3 include :


Extended application-monitoring support for .NET WinForms, Windows Service Applications written in .NET and Console Applications written in .NET.

Users-defined custom error handlers for critical exceptions, which provide tighter integration with existing exception handling instrumentation

Improved usability features which support selecting handled vs. unhandled exception monitoring, configuring subscribers and testing server connectivity all from the Intercept Management Console
