Why Use USB Device Control Solutions?
As part of a multi-layered data loss prevention strategy you will need security controls to protect data against theft to USB storage.
AccessPatrol’s USB blocking tool provides the critical security controls you need to prevent employees, guests, and contractors from stealing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), trade secrets, and financial records.
- USB Security: Block unauthorized devices as a critical security control for enforcing your removable media policy. Prevent installation of apps via flash drives and protect sensitive data against theft.
- Prevent Data Breaches: Flash drives are portable and easy to hide. AccessPatrol’s technical safeguards stop insider threats from transferring data to all forms of removable media.
- Endpoint Security: USB devices can unknowingly infect company computers with ransomware and other malicious software. Disable USB ports to mitigate this security risk.
AccessPatrol’s Device Permissions
AccessPatrol lets administrators easily control device access permissions for the users and endpoints in their network by assigning Full Access, Read Only, and No Access device control policies.
AccessPatrol’s USB blocker will continue to enforce data protection policies even when managed devices lose connection to the CurrentWare server, allowing users to be monitored and managed when they are working offline or on another network.
- Full Access: The computer or user with this access permission can read and write to the specified removable device that is connected to the computer.
- Read Only: The computer or user with this access permission can only read the information from the specified external device that is connected to the computer. The user will not be able to copy any information to the specified external device. The read access only option is only available to storage devices.
- No Access: The computer or user with this access permission cannot read or write to the specified external devices that are connected to the computer.
