Device and Interface Control and Monitoring

Mobile storage devices such as the ubiquitous USB stick and other portable media devices allow users to benefit from the advantages of mobile media. However, the increasing levels of high-profile data breaches around the world underscore the importance of data loss prevention technologies and strategies. Loss of business-critical data may not just lead to loss of face, but may also be potentially fatal for an organization.

Organizations should control and manage the interface to portable media devices allowing users to benefit from the advantages of mobile media, without risking the loss of data or the introduction of malware. The ideal solution should enable IT administrators to determine mobile storage media that are allowed in the corporate network, the ports that may be used, and the type of files that may be imported from or exported to external media.

Such a solution should also allow real-time management, flexible access, and total support for users to ensure high degree of acceptance.
