Take control of unauthorized devices with Devicewall
Identity theft, data loss, malware propagation and computer misuse are real risks facing every corporate network. That’s why organizations have spent millions protecting their email and internet gateways. But with USB memory sticks, media players, PDAs and other portable storage devices now a common sight in offices, perimeter security solutions can’t manage the threat of internal security breaches at the network endpoints.
DeviceWall enables organizations to secure the network against the risks presented by portable storage devices by preventing the unauthorized connection of unwanted devices to company-owned PCs.
DeviceWall makes it easy to create and enforce a security policy that determines which employees in the company should be able to access different classes of device. Any device type not explicitly permitted is automatically blocked.
DeviceWall stops the unauthorized use of all common portable storage and wireless devices, including:
USB memory sticks
iPods and other media players
PDAs, Blackberry devices and Smartphones
USB & Firewire mass storage devices
CDs, DVDs and floppy disks
Intelligent PC lockdown
By blocking only the devices that are considered a risk to the organization, DeviceWall offers a more intelligent alternative to total PC lockdown. Focusing on the different types of device – rather than solely on the means of connection – means that DeviceWall can safely lock out all USB memory sticks without fear of blocking USB-connected keyboards and mice. Similarly you can allow trusted users to read information from CDs, but not to write files from the network or PC to a CD-R.
For laptops, DeviceWall can lock down wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and IRDA) ports, preventing the unauthorized connection of company assets to unknown devices and networks.
Online & Offline protection
DeviceWall protects your mobile assets regardless of whether they are connected to the corporate network or not. The device control policy remains effective whenever the desktop or laptop is in use, so you can be sure that home and mobile workers cannot put the organization at risk when they are away from the office.
DeviceWall’s unique offline temporary access feature enables authorized administrators to grant one-time access to blocked devices – even when the user has no way of connecting back to the Control Center. This is just one of the ways in which DeviceWall ensures it does not have a negative impact on business productivity.
Protected by default
DeviceWall’s policy towards security is simple. If a user doesn’t have specific privileges to access a device type, then it is blocked automatically with no action required from the administrator. The intuitive interface in DeviceWall allows administrators to quickly establish device access rights for user groups and individuals – using either NT domains or your Active Directory.
What’s more, you don’t need to check or update DeviceWall every day to keep on top of new security threats. If DeviceWall doesn’t recognize a new device type, it will simply block it until you decide that it has a legitimate place on the network.
