Device control is a set of policies and technologies designed to regulate and manage peripheral device access within an organization. It fences your organization and restricts unauthorized device access to critical enterprise data from your network. By enforcing stringent device policies, you can manage the peripheral devices in your network and oversee the information accessed by the devices from your endpoints, along with the device details.
"Device control" refers to the ability to enforce policies on devices, ensuring secure access and minimizing the risks of unauthorized data transfers.
Your employees may have to use a plethora of portable devices in combination with your endpoints to complete their tasks. However, plugging an unverified peripheral device into your endpoint can create a security loophole, acting as a backdoor for attackers to exfiltrate all your sensitive information, such as financial archives, passwords, PII, and PHI, to name a few. Hence, a robust device control solution is needed to scan meticulously and manage all peripheral devices that are entering or are already active within your network.
With the traditional perimeter of network security becoming less effective in the wake of advanced cyber threats and the hybrid workforce becoming a necessity, Device Control Plus is a robust solution that offers device intrusion prevention, a Zero Trust security model, device classification, file action management, as well as privileged access assignment—all in one device control solution to protect your businesses from cyber threats.
Not just limited to a conventional peripheral device control approach, Device Control Plus also relies on the principle of Zero Trust. It fortifies your network with a secure layer between removable devices and endpoints. Every time a peripheral device connects to an endpoint, the admin is alerted about the attempt, and this incident is also logged in the audits section for future audits and analysis.
These days, virtual machines are widely used in the IT landscape for disaster recovery and testing. Setting up a VM is a no-brainer task with zero restrictions against the entry of peripheral devices. So any device can enter the endpoint and access the data without any hindrance. Device Control Plus in the VMs beside the endpoint can protect your data from these threats.
You need not have to exhaust time managing devices manually. Device Control Plus, with its re-defined and template policies helps eliminate hours spent devising a policy afresh. Once you deploy the policies, the enforcement will be automated and continue even when the system is offline.
Expand your visibility into device and user activities, and observe user behavior patterns to catch the warning signs of a potential insider attack or external threat. Device Control Plus also alerts when a blocked device connects to an endpoint, notifying the intended recipients about the same.
With Device Control Plus, you need not spend time and effort keeping track of potential threats. Device Control Plus is based on a zero-trust model where only when the admin grants access only to verified devices will the devices be allowed within the network.
Comprehensive reports are generated using Device Control Plus. Gain insights on the device details and reports on sensitive file access for auditing. You can customize the file and device report retention period, which includes monitoring the file actions such as file creation, opening, renaming, deleting, modifying, moving, and copying.
Having control over the peripheral devices accessing the critical enterprise data from your endpoints is a necessity. With Device Control Plus, a detailed device control solution, you have a firm handle over external device access. As your organization’s data is extremely valuable, you need to maximize data protection by allowing only the devices you trust to connect to your network.
Beyond data protection, here are a few reasons why your enterprise can benefit from Device Control Plus:
