Scriptlogic USB Port Security |
 |
Draagbare dataopslag devices zien we steeds meer om ons heen. Naast het gemak van draagbare devices zoals , USB sticks, Firewire drives, Wifi en Bluetooth devices waarmee we heel gemakkelijk gevoelige data op kunnen slaan kleeft er direct een groot gevaar aan deze devices.
Zoals we al regelmatig in de landelijke pers hebben kunnen lezen gaat er wel eens data op een van deze devices de deur uit wat niet had gemoeten.
Om deze "ongelukken" te voorkomen is Desktop Authority met de USB port optie een zeer goede oplossing. Vanaf één centrale plaats kunt u al uw desktop systemen zo instellen dat het onmogelijk wordt om data op een extern device zoals USB sticks, Firewire, Wifi, Bleutooth, PCMCIA, MP3 players, Floppy's, Palm OS te zetten.

Today more than ever, the portability of data is an ever growing reality. Beyond the obvious USB drives and burnable CDs that can be used to carry information in and out of the organization, devices like cell phones, and MP3 players both potentially bringing malicious code into the organization as well as sensitive data leaving the organization are now a concern.

Desktop Authority’s USB and Port Security option builds on the comprehensive desktop management platform to increase desktop security, reduce data theft, increase compliance with regulatory standards protecting sensitive data, and reduce the threat of the viruses and Spyware.
The USB and Port Security option provides policy-based lockdown of USB, storage and communication devices. It provides multiple levels of security allowing complete access or denial to certain device types, such as MP3 players, while allowing more granular levels of security, such as Read Only access to a CD-R drive.
