Story Behind Desksense

Genia (name changed) had enough of the NGO industry. She had some plans for financial betterment of the NGO, she had worked with. But her ideas were put down on the grounds of "Unethical ways" to bring in monetary help. Genia had worked with Purbachal Ananda Foundation (NGO) for years and had been in close touch with maximum donors of the NGO. When she was asked to leave the organization, it was evident to the secretary (Mr. Arin) that she would definitely try to take with her, the copies of all important and lucrative documents. Someone having all the information about donors and their details; even this idea bought the hell out of Mr.Arin.

This is when he came in contact with us, where he asked as something that will help him to drop out Genia, with no fear of his documents getting lost. We gave him Desksense.

Genia's Last day in office: (in words of Mr. Arin)
She was early in office than her normal days. Jotting down all the excel data and the important documents of the organization in a folder is just only a matter of time for her. She knew where's what!! Genia opened IE and opened yahoo. Checking her mails everyday morning was obviously her first job for months. But what's wrong? yahoo did not open. Instead she got a message saying "Desksense has Blocked Yahoo!".

The situation went alarming for her. Now how can she save her documents up in the net? She left Internet Explorer, tried Mozilla, Chrome ... but all in vain. Well, what left with her was, if she can open any other ID in somewhere else. But lolz, Gmail, AOL. MSN, Rediff all e-mail websites wouldn't just open. Niether could she now open any file transfer websites like rapidshare or fileshare!!

No Problem! She opened her drawer and got hold of some blank cds. She put them inside the Cd/Dvd drive and OMG... she couldn't just believe her eyes. The drive wont even show up in her computer. Genia got up.... she though and thought! "yes there's a way", and she dig up her old pen drive and smart card from her purse pocket. "If only I thought of these options before", she murmured while hooking both the devices in her CPU. But no, this was not her day, even those devices won't show up, like the cd/dvd one.

As the clock ticked , Genia could understand very well, that there is nothing she can take out with her. She had no other option than leaving the org with a pale smile goodbye forever.


Just after...


Coderea Technologies is a leading provider of high-end outsourcing services for web site design & development. They needed a centralized way to secure the network, manage internet-usage policies for their users, individuals, and also workstations regardless of their location. They thought of installing a strong firewall, which would solve their problem to a large extent, if not all.

Analysts of the company, speculated that imposing such kind of blockage over employees can have a physiological effect on their freedom and thus can have a reverse effect on their work culture. This might lead to theft of information of some high end client data. It may also result in usage of other means and ways to interact with the PC.

Coderea chose Desksense (ver 0.1), the best of mini-security solutions to suite their primary needs of internet-usage policies as well as put an end to their tertiary fear of data theft. Coderea now uses desksense to filter all external-storage and distribution means from USB Flash, Cd/Dvd to Smart Cards as well as to lock down important file and folders in PCs in various modes for different groups of users, according to individual usage profiles!

... and then Desksense (ver 0.1) got selected by many clients, from individuals to organization. Thats the point we decided to give it a worldwide exposure with a bigger and better version (ver 1.0.0.2). We have just released the beta, free for all users to download and evaluate the benefits of having Desksense ( the best mini-security solution for individuals and small organizations).

... and the story has just began!!
