Control network access and use of devices such as USB
drives, iPods and PDAs
The proliferation of consumer devices such as iPods, USB
drivers, smart phones and other portable devices has
increased the risk of data leakage and malicious activity
on networks. While most companies have anti-virus
software, firewalls, email and web content security to
protect against external threats, few realize how easy it
is for an employee to copy huge amounts of sensitive data
onto an iPod or USB stick. There is also a risk of
viruses or malware and illegal software being introduced
on the network. One way to prevent this from happening is
to lock down all ports but this is neither sustainable
nor advised.
Prevent data theft and virus infection from within with
endpoint security software
Unfortunately, many businesses are unaware of or ignore
the threat until something actually happens. According to
research conducted by eMedia on behalf of GFI in the US,
few medium-sized businesses consider portable storage
devices to be a major threat while fewer than 20% had
implemented software to address this risk. The key to
managing portable device use is to install an endpoint
security solution that gives administrators control over
what devices are in use, have been used and by whom and
in-depth knowledge of what data has been copied.
