Security auditing : the intelligence you need

Best practice dictates that before you take any action, you need to know and understand the current situation. When it comes to endpoint security, that means having visibility of what devices are currently being used on the network and by whom.

DeviceWall will automatically monitor device connections, reporting back to the Policy Management Center vital information such as device class, user, PC, time of connection and whether the connection was blocked or allowed. What’s more, you don’t need to trawl through hundreds of log files to get the information you need – it’s all presented in a user-friendly graphical report which can be shared with senior management.

Assess risk first

When deployed initially in ‘observation’ (no active security policy, just monitoring activity) mode, DeviceWall gives you the means to quickly assess the risks facing your network. DeviceWall’s agents will report back on who’s using iPods or media players, who are the most common users of USB memory sticks and which PCs burn the most CDs.

Monitoring effectiveness

You can’t calculate the ROI on security if you don’t measure the risks facing the network before and after implementation. DeviceWall’s historic reporting makes it easy to see the changing threat to network security over time, highlighting the number of blocked connection, or helping you spot the increased use of different device types.

Policy audit trail

In addition to reporting on device connections, DeviceWall also helps you maintain regulatory compliance by automatically creating a full audit trail of all policy changes, deployments and temporary permissions.

This audit trail provides important forensic evidence which can be reviewed at any time, or exported to a 3rd party reporting application.
