Flog Blog: Locking it down in 2.0

It's funny how easy it is to take complete control for granted. It makes it very easy to forget there are many, many people working in corporations around the world who don't enjoy those same freedoms.

The Freedom to Load Your System with Spyware, The Freedom to Download Music and Games (often with Free Bonus Trojans), The Freedom to Seek Out and Destroy the Initialization Files for Company-Critical Software.

When we first released Attensa, it was designed to run in a system with no security constraints. Recognizing that Enterprise companies often don't work that way, we've made some significant improvements in how Attensa installs, with the goal of running smoothly in the corporate environment.

The feature benefits include:
Once an administrator installs Attensa, your users can set up and configure Attensa without admin rights.
Connection with Attensa Feed Server allows your company to push job-relevant information while providing additional control over security.
Companies can accommodate their job-share employees because Attensa now keeps track of settings for each Windows user.

We've got many more improvements on the way, but this one is pretty significant as security will continue to be at the top of the list for corporate software buyers.

P.S. my boss made me write this because it's good for me to interact with others.

Attensa 2.0 has been working very well for me in Outlook 2003 in my Enerprise environment apart from not being able to add feeds to my Safe Senders list. As my company mandates that Outlook security is set to Restricted Sites, I can't automatically view any images in my feeds, although I can manually download some. I would love it if the developers could add a fake From: address to the feeds in Attensa, such as attensa@ or similar, so I could see the feeds as they are meant to be displayed. Keep up the good work!

Darren,

We've looked at various ways to solve this, including adding a dummy email address, and I'm happy to announce that our programmers have finished rewriting the Outlook plugin so that even that will not be necessary. The improvement will be in the next major release, Attensa 2.1, which will be out in the next couple of months. Thanks for letting us know this feature is important in your Enterprise environment - we're listening!
