Unauthorized removable media devices represent a significant and growing threat to your organization's security. Devices such as music players, USB flash drives, compact flash readers, cameras, iPods, etc are a potential source of security vulnerabilities that must be addressed. These devices bypass perimeter defenses and tracking software and enable potentially harmful infections to enter your network and, even more dangerously, facilitate data asset theft.

At the same time, however, many organizations rely on these devices to move data, to back-up information, and to facilitate IT administration.

The problem: Controlling the use of removable media devices such as USB flash drives, without harming business flexibility.

The solution: An integrated Endpoint Security Management approach that controls which devices can be used, by whom, where and when, and also audits and tracks activity to ensure corporate compliance.

DynaComm PointGuard® gives you the ability to enforce policy-based controls over removable devices in your network. Whether the systems being protected are file servers, desktop PCs or even remote laptops on the road, rules are enforced and activity is logged.

Integrated, secure, simple

DynaComm PointGuard's integrated approach enables you to build an organization-wide threat assessment that reflects USB device management. Based on this, you can define policies that reflect device usage and needs, protect critical informational assets, and eliminate rogue devices that can cause significant security breaches.

Automatic device discovery means that you will be alerted in real-time if new devices are mounted, and policy rules can instantly allow or block access to them based on the system, device type, user, time of day etc.

File-by-file control

DynaComm PointGuard’s unique real-time file monitoring means that even for allowed devices, rules can enforce what type of files can be accessed from removable media.  Need to enable only text documents but not applications?  Need to prevent copying of excel spreadsheets?

The power of an integrated Endpoint Security Management solution means business assets remain protected, while business processes are unhindered.
