| DeviceLock Detail |
DeviceLock® is a policy-based endpoint security solution that enables network administrators to centrally control uploading and downloading activity through local computer devices. With DeviceLock® you can lock out unauthorized users from USB and FireWire devices, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, CD-Rom and floppy drives, infrared, serial and parallel ports and many other plug-and-play devices.
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 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.
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.
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 and FireWire ports, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, CD-ROMs, floppy drives, other removable devices
Control access to devices depending on the time of day and day of the week
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)
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 this list of DeviceLock® administrators
Set devices in read-only mode
Protect disks from accidental or intentional formatting
Deploy permissions and settings via Group Policy in an Active Directory domain
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
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
Install and uninstall it automatically.
