Firewalls and antivirus software are no
defense against acts of data theft and corruption
from within your organization at local endpoints. You
don't have to be an administrator to connect
a small digital camera, MP3 player, or flash
memory stick to the USB and begin uploading
or downloading whatever you want. If you are
a system administrator, you know you can't manage
such device-level activity via Group Policy.
Using
endpoint device security solution called DeviceLock, network administrators
can lock out unauthorized users from USB and
FireWire devices, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, CD-Rom and
floppy drives, serial and parallel ports, PDAs and
smartphones, local and network printers and many other
plug-and-play devices. Once DeviceLock is installed, administrators can
control access to any device, depending on the
time of day and day of the week.
For enterprises standardized on software and hardware-based encryption
solutions like PGP Whole Disk Encryption, TrueCrypt and
Lexar SAFE PSD S1100 USB drives, DeviceLock allows
administrators to centrally define and remotely control the
encryption policies their employees must follow when using
removable devices for storing and retrieving corporate data.
For example, certain employees or their groups can
be allowed to write to and read from
only specifically encrypted USB flash drives, while other
users of the corporate network can be permitted
to "read only" from non-encrypted removable storage devices
but not write to them.
The USB white
list allows you to authorize only specific devices
that will not be locked regardless of any
other settings. The intention is to allow special
devices (e.g. smart card readers) but lock all
other devices. Media White List feature allows you
to authorize access to specific DVD/CD-ROM disks, uniquely
identified by data signature, even when DeviceLock has
otherwise blocked the DVD/CD-ROM drive. A convenience when
DVD/CD-ROM disks are routinely used for the distribution
of new software or instruction manuals, Media White
Listing can also specify allowed users and groups,
so that only authorized users are able to
access the contents of the DVD or CD-ROM.
The DeviceLock's optional data shadowing capability significantly enhances
the corporate IT auditor s ability to ensure
that sensitive information has not left the premises
on removable media. It captures full copies of
files that are copied to authorized removable devices,
Windows Mobile and Palm OS-based PDAs and smartphones,
burned to CD/DVD or even printed by authorized
end users. Shadow copies are stored on a
centralized component of an existing server and any
existing ODBC-compliant SQL infrastructure of the customer s
choosing.
DeviceLock Enterprise Server can monitor remote computers
in real-time, checking DeviceLock Service status (running or
not), policy consistency and integrity. The detailed information
is written to the Monitoring log. Also, it
is possible to define a master policy that
can be automatically applied across selected remote computers
in the event that their current policies are
suspected to be out-of-date or damaged.
DeviceLock allows
you to generate a report concerning the permissions
that have been set. You can see which
users are assigned for what device and what
devices are on the USB white list on
all the computers across your network.
DeviceLock provides
a level of precision control over device resources
unavailable via Windows Group Policy - and it
does so with an interface that is seamlessly
integrated into the Windows Group Policy Editor. As
such, it s easier to implement and manage
across a large number of workstations.
With DeviceLock
you can:
- Control which users or groups
can access USB, FireWire, Infrared, COM and LPT
ports; WiFi and Bluetooth adapters; any type of
printer, including local, network and virtual printers; Windows
Mobile and Palm OS-based PDAs and smartphones; aswell
as DVD/CD-ROMs, floppy drives, and other removable and
Plug-and-Play devices
- Control access to devices depending on
the time of day and day of the
week Define which types of data (files, calendars,
emails, tasks, notes, etc.) are allowed to synchronize
between corporate PCs and personal mobile devices
- Detect
encrypted PGP and TrueCrypt disks (USB Flash Drives
and other removable media) as well as Lexar
SAFE PSD encrypted flash drives and apply special
"encrypted" permissions to them
- Authorize only specific USB
devices that will not be locked regardless of
any other settings
- Grant users temporary access to
USB devices when there is no network connection
(you provide users with the special access codes
over the phone that temporarily unlock access to
requested devices)
- Uniquely identify a specific DVD/CD-ROM disk
by the data signature and authorize access to
it, even when DeviceLock has otherwise blocked the
DVD/CD-ROM drive Protect against users with local administrator
privileges so they can't disable DeviceLock Service or
remove it from their computers, if they are
not in the list of DeviceLock administrators
- Set
devices in read-only mode
- Protect disks from accidental
or intentional formatting
- Detect and block hardware keyloggers
(USB and PS/2)
- Deploy permissions and settings via
Group Policy in an Active Directory domain
- Use
the standard Windows RSoP snap-in to view the
DeviceLock policy currently being applied, as well as
to predict what policy would be applied in
a given situation
- Control everything remotely using the
centralized management console
- Get a complete log of
port and device activity, such as uploads and
downloads by users and filenames in the standard
Windows Event Log
- Mirror all data (shadowing) copied
to external storage devices (removable, floppy, DVD/CD-ROM), Windows
Mobile or Palm OS PDAs and smartphones, transferred
via COM and LPT ports and even printed
- Store shadow data on a centralized component of
an existing server and any existing ODBC-compliant SQL
infrastructure
- Monitor remote computers in real-time, checking DeviceLock
Service status (running or not), policy consistency and
integrity
- Generate a report concerning the permissions and
settings that have been set
- Generate a report
displaying the USB, FireWire and PCMCIA devices currently
connected to computers and those that were connected
- Create a custom MSI package for DeviceLock Service
with predefined policies.
