Entrust Entelligence™: Device Protector
Organizations today are under pressure to improve their corporate governance practices and compliance with regulations and legislation that demand stronger internal access controls, data privacy, policy enforcement and audit.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices and other plug-and-play ports enable instant use of many peripherals and storage devices, effectively making all enterprise computers vulnerable to data leaks. Moving digital files from a PC to a storage device is very easy, using a USB or FireWire connection, or wirelessly using Bluetooth, Infrared or Wi-Fi connectivity. Users innocently plug personal storage devices into their work PC to upload music, or transmit digital photos, but the ability to also siphon off corporate data from a PC onto peripherals places organizations at considerable risk of undetected data leaks.
In collaboration with Pointsec Mobile Technologies, Entrust offers Entrust Entelligence Device Protector, a PC-based port control application that protects organizations against the insider threat through the powerful combination of port management, content filtering, centralized auditing and management of storage devices, and optional media encryption. By closing these potential leak points and providing a comprehensive audit report of data files moving on or off storage devices, you can take control of your security policy.
Organizations can turn to Entrust to:
- Keep you out of the headlines – Removable storage devices are a leading cause of compromised data. Don't become famous for a data leak. The damage to your reputation can be huge - not to mention possible lawsuits.
- Maintain control of your security policy – Entrust enables great flexibility in the secure management of all plug-and-play devices, combined with full control of all port activity and optional media encryption. User directory integration allows you to always enforce the right policy for the right user.
- Lower your operating costs and reduce time to deploy – Device Protector takes very little effort to deploy and support, providing powerful — yet economical — protection.
- Obtain complete control of data and devices – White and black list management enables granular control of what devices and file types are allowed to be used. Encryption ensures data privacy, and a content and virus scan, is enforced when data is returned to ensure network integrity. Configurable policies let security administrators balance security levels against operational cost and user impact.
- Report on content movement with an extensive audit capability, enabling network administrators to track data movement to and from removable media wherever the device is used, providing a clear view of what information is stored on devices and who placed it there.
