Control Portable Storage Devices
It doesn't take much to get publicity these days. Lose one spreadsheet containing customer data, and your company's name is almost guaranteed to be plastered all over the front page news. In fact, Gartner says that tens of millions of people will receive a "data loss" notification letter this year*.
To protect against data and information leakage, companies need to address both the internal threats posed by unauthorized copying of information from Windows computers to portable storage devices, and the external threats that arise from malicious software downloads. This approach is critical to ensure compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) and Payment Card Industry (PCI).
Bit9 helps fulfill these requirements with a device control solution that allows you to secure your data and applications through Windows lockdown. At the same time, Bit9's flexible whitelisting solution ensures Windows users have the appropriate access to business applications and portable storage devices without compromise. With Bit9, IT professionals can address critical requirements of data leakage prevention through device control such as:
- Auditing and logging every file copied to and from a portable storage device
- Preventing unauthorized copying of sensitive information to a portable storage device
- Preventing unauthorized software executions from a portable storage device
- Standardize on a particular vendor or model of portable storage device with built-in encryption
Bit9 Parity also includes the most effective application control solution available on the market. In one package, you get a powerful solution for device control and the ability to lock down the software on desktops and laptops in a way that is not only realistic, but efficient.
