Endpoint Security: Devices, Data and Desktops

You’ve spent millions keeping your data safe from hackers outside the organization. But thanks to the popularity of small data storage devices such as USB fl ash drives, MP3 players and PDAs, it’s now easier to steal data from the inside than it is to break in to your IT systems across the internet.

If you care about protecting your company’s data, you need DeviceWall to lock down unauthorized USB file transfers from corporate PCs to portable storage devices.

DeviceWall from Centennial Software helps protect your data, both on and off the network, by:

  • Preventing the transfer of files to or from unauthorized portable devices
  • Automatically encrypting data copied to approved devices
  • Providing complete audit trails of device and file accesses

Device Control
DeviceWall prevents the unwanted transfer of data to or from portable devices – such as USB flash drives, iPods, PDAs and even CDs – by automatically enforcing security policies. User access can be blocked, limited to read-only or left unrestricted according to the individual’s security privileges and device type in use.

Encryption
DeviceWall can automatically encrypt all data copied to authorized storage devices such as USB flash drives. Using the latest Blowfish and AES 256-bit ciphers, DeviceWall ensures that even if data is lost in transit, it won’t create a costly and embarrassing security breach.
>>More

Access Auditing
DeviceWall provides complete visibility of all user and administrator actions, recording everything from individual device connections to the most popular files accessed on portable devices. A full audit trail of administrator actions helps ensure compliance with security management policies.

Content Aware Technology
Understand what is really being transferred between PCs and authorized devices with DeviceWall’s new Content Aware Edition (CAE) technology. DeviceWall CAE accurately identifies true file types, combating attempts to copy sensitive files by renaming them or changing file extensions.

Regardless of whether the device is connected locally or wirelessly, if the PC is on the corporate network or offline, DeviceWall constantly manages device connections to ensure the integrity of your network is not compromised.

DeviceWall – Protection through strength and flexibility:

Complete device control – of all types of portable storage device, local and wireless connections.  Create device white lists with the Policy

Total auditing – of all device connections and attempted data transfers.  Tabular and graphical reports make it easy to monitor user behaviour

Encryption – super strength 256-bit encryption built-in, with choice of global and personal keys

Single-screen admin – all administration is done through the central policy Control Center, including policy creation, distribution and reporting

Temporary access – react to special circumstances with time-limited access to devices, even when the PC is away from the network

To summarize

DeviceWall is not a PC or port lockdown tool. It is an intelligent business-centric approach to risk management that ensures that productivity is unaffected as authorized users continue to go about their duties unhindered, while staff, contractors or visitors that do not have appropriate privileges cannot put the organization at risk.

DeviceWall is a policy-based Windows PC security solution, which manages access to removable media and data encryption according to user privileges defined in the Policy Control Center. DeviceWall’s small client agent enforces the current user's security privileges, regardless of PC location. DeviceWall works both when the PC is on the corporate network and when it is offline, ensuring that security levels remain constant.
