Overview
The old cliché is very true in that ‘Information
is power’ for any business today, and companies owe their continued
existence to the ability to harness, manage and protect the
intellectual property vested in their systems and data. Information
in the wrong hands though is dangerous!
Protect
the integrity of your network
DeviceWall from Centennial
Software addresses one of the major security threats facing many
organizations – the unauthorized use of removable media by anyone with
access to PCs on the network. These small, yet high-capacity devices,
coupled with the enhancements in high speed connectivity through Firewire
and USB ports pose a huge risk to businesses today as they can be
deliberately or inadvertently used to remove sensitive data from the
corporate network, introduce malicious code or transfer inappropriate
content.DeviceWall enables
organizations to protect themselves against malicious and accidental
computer misuse by managing access to devices such as USB sticks, iPods
(and other media players), PDAs, memory cards and even internal CD and DVD
writers. However, we also recognize there are legitimate scenarios where
some employees will need to use such a device for specific business
efficiency purposes.
With DeviceWall, Centennial
Software offers a more intelligent alternative to the wholesale lockdown
of PCs through the selective management of access to and from particular
devices based upon a user’s (or group of users) specific needs and
privileges.Retain
full business productivity
Many security solutions are often
criticized as providing peace of mind at the expense of productivity. This
is not the case with DeviceWall.
The solution allows
organizations to keep connections open for legitimate devices that are not
capable of storing data, such as mice, keyboards and printers, while
maintaining an effective user policy-based barrier against unauthorized
connection of portable storage devices.
DeviceWall’s
intuitive policy manager
interface makes it easy for
administrators to ensure that
individuals and groups of
employees can continue to use
certain devices that are core to
their job (such as field based
employee synchronizing diaries)
while others who have no need to
use the same device cannot do
so.
