Oculis Labs Privacy Software Selected Government Computer News “Product of the Month”

Oculis Labs, a developer of data privacy software that protects mobile and desktop computers from visual eavesdroppers, today announced that Government Computer News (GCN) selected PrivateEye, the industry’s only solution that proactively protects data on computer displays, as its most recent “Product of the Month.” PrivateEye protects data by using facial detection and recognition to obscure the screen when the privileged user is not present or when eavesdroppers attempt to view the display. For government organizations it has group policy-based, central management features which allow it to be deployed easily by IT departments.

Per the reviews editor: “We’ve tested a variety of these screen protectors over the years, everything from physical filters that could only be read when wearing polarized sunglasses to badges that locked down a computer when a user got too far away. In the case of the former, wearing sunglasses in the office wasn’t very practical, and the protection could be thwarted by simply peeling back the filter. In the latter, a user had to remember to keep his or her badge on them at all times, and this solution offered no protection from snoops watching nearby. The PrivateEye Software solves almost all the problems associated with over-the-shoulder espionage. It watches your back constantly. Users only have to remember to bring their own faces to work. Given that almost every laptop sold today comes with an integrated webcam, this is a great way to add a unique layer of active security to any setup.”
