Is your sensitive data at risk due to a lack of device management?

External devices such as flash drives, Bluetooth, and other portable USB devices, although harmless at a first glance, are one of the top causes for security incidents that can cause major damages to any business. Damages range from confidential data being stolen to huge fines due to violations of compliance rules and regulations. End users must be aware of the risks, and for businesses, to have measures in place to prevent data breaches and leakage from external devices.

Cross-platform, lightweight agent

Remotely monitor USBs and peripheral ports across different operating systems from a simple web-based interface with no performance impact on the protected computers. Set device control policies with ease for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and enable USB Device Control functionality to have precise and granular control over USB devices and other portable devices on each operating system.

Remote and temporary access

Grant USB access remotely, even when computers are offline, while having a complete list of log reports once back on the network.

Precise and granular control

Depending on departments’ requirements, specify which devices can or cannot be used, create device whitelists and blacklists, and define policies per user, computer, or group for uninterrupted workflow throughout the company.

Lockdown, control, and monitor USB and peripheral ports to stop data theft and data loss

Auto Detect New Devices

The Device Control software automatically scans, identifies, and classifies new connected external devices used by employees.

Reliability & Privacy

Resistant to connectivity drops and geographical restrictions to give you the highest level of performance and privacy possible.

Grows with you

Easily expandable to include complete data loss prevention capabilities at the endpoint with Content Aware Protection.

Gain full control of USB devices, Bluetooth, and peripheral ports

The centrally-managed Device Control solution allows for granular control over USB device permissions, enabling full control of the USB ports and connected storage devices. This way, it prevents accidental or intentional data loss and data transfers, while also enabling endpoint protection against the spread of USB malware, BadUSB attacks, or viruses. With Device Control, businesses can centralize user access management and customize access permissions for removable media connections.

How it works

Device Control is the first layer of security provided by Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys. By defining granular access rights for USB and peripheral ports, endpoint security is enforced while productivity is maintained. As a cross-platform solution, it protects the entire network, including removable storage devices, regardless if the computers are running on Windows, macOS, or Linux environments.

Set granular device control policies and monitor all USB ports and devices on all endpoints

Uniquely identify all USB connected devices and removable media

Block unauthorized device use or enforce data encryption remotely

Get reports and notifications regarding USB activity on all endpoints

Controlled device types

Device Control allows easy management for the majority of known USB drive types, for enhanced data protection in various work environments.

Protect company IP, PII, financial data, or other regulated data types without compromising productivity

Intellectual Property (IP) Protection

Endpoint Protector uses advanced technologies such as N-gram-based text categorization to accurately discover IP, including source code, within hundreds of file formats, and then monitor and control any transfers to prevent data theft.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Protection

Discover and protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive information stored on employee endpoints with our data discovery module. Monitor data and prevent data exfiltration and data leaks with an all-in-one Data Loss Prevention tool.

Insider Threat Protection

Stop data leakage and data theft and by applying appropriate cybersecurity controls at the endpoint - from logging potential insider threats, to real-time blocking. Discover end-users that fail to follow data security policies and situations that can lead to a policy violation or data leakage.

Compliance and Regulations

Endpoint Protector’s DLP software can help organizations ensure data privacy and achieve regulatory compliance with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, GDPR, SOX, and others, avoiding fines and other damages imposed by regulatory entities.

Even stronger with
Enforced Encryption

Taking advantage of everything Device Control has to offer, enhance security one step further by implementing Enforced Encryption. With USB and peripheral ports already under control, ensure that all USB storage devices used throughout the organization are encrypted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is USB device control?

Device control is the technology that ensures protection against data loss by monitoring and controlling data transfers from endpoints to removable storage devices. Companies can set access rights to users to protect sensitive data from insider threats and accidental data leakage through removable devices. With device control, access to different devices including USBs, smartphones and tablets, printers, WiFi network cards, FireWire devices, and more can be opened or blocked.

Why do organizations need device control?

Device control solutions provide data loss and theft prevention via removable devices. Removable storage devices, such as USB flash drives, and mobile connection technologies, like Wi-Fi or FireWire are convenient and enhance productivity, however, they also present security risks. By deploying a device control solution, organizations can protect sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Intellectual Property (IP) from leaking, which could result in steep fines, legal ramifications, and brand damage.

Find out more about what makes a device control software stand out.

What are the benefits of device control?

With device control, organizations can control the movement of valuable information to portable storage devices and peripheral ports, as well as gain visibility into what data is being taken out. To prevent accidental or intentional data loss and data leaks, high-quality device control solutions offer granular control over all devices in the organization, and provide features such as offline temporary passwords or transfers limits. Encryption is often part or can be used with a device control solution, thus preventing unauthorized use or dissemination of confidential data.

Learn how you can encrypt, manage and secure USB storage devices by safeguarding data in transit.

What is USB lockdown?

A USB lockdown software, also known as USB blocking software, helps organizations prevent data leakage by restricting unauthorized devices from accessing endpoints and sensitive data. With a USB blocker, data is safeguarded from being copied onto untrusted removable devices.
