Faronics Device Filter Mac Software
Essential Connection Control
Unregulated device connectivity can cause a multitude of corporate security and policy challenges.
Faronics Device Filter empowers IT administrators with the ability to block peripheral devices from connecting to desktop computers. Any peripheral device–such as an iPod, USB drive, Bluetooth phone, or digital camera can be managed to prevent unauthorized data transfers or connections from taking place. IT personnel are able to assign permanent, temporary, or one–time–only authorizations to devices, and can also assign constraints to filter devices or network connections based on capacity. With the ability to generate usage reports, Device Filter allows system administrators to monitor the network–wide device connections and file transfers that have taken place.
Prevents Data Theft
Device Filter helps organizations ensure that corporate data remains safe by preventing data from being transferred off-site without the necessary permission levels. Employees and visitors who attempt an unauthorized data connection will find their attempts denied and recorded in the system logs. IT administrators can review the logs to determine the source of the intrusion.
Prevents Malicious Uploading
One of the consequences of the cheap and popular nature of portable storage is that it becomes a conduit for malicious software. As soon as an employee or visitor connects a portable drive to a corporate computer, they run the risk – whether it is accidental or intentional &ndash ;of infecting network systems with any malicious software on the drive. Device Filter protects against this threat by blocking all unauthorized data connections from taking place.
