Protect against data leakage with our end point control solution

Connect Protect is an end point control solution that enables organisations to control the use of “plug and play” devices and prevent data leakage. Connect Protect end point control protects organisations, by preventing unauthorised access to, and use of, external removable devices and providing centrally managed audit trails for all connection events.

Connect Protect is an end point control solution that helps prevent data leakage by ensuring there is no unauthorised access to external removable devices.

It controls the use of all “plug and play” devices and other removable media, enabling an organisation to enforce a usage policy, preventing data leakage. It prevents unauthorised devices from connecting to the network; it can restrict usage to approved devices only. In addition, Connect Protect provides a full audit trail to track device usage and highlight denied and authorised connections.

Connect Protect features digital signing for approved devices allowing an organisation to strictly control what type, and how many, removable storage devices are in use inside the organisation. This also prevents data leakage by preventing authorised devices from being cloned.

Challenge Response. Allows temporary access to devices to reset passwords.	Provides mechanism for resetting lost or forgotten passwords without exposing the original password to data leakage.

How it works

Connect Protect works by using filter drivers to allow/deny access to devices. Depending on policy, any external device may be connected but not accessible unless the machine or user has permission to do so.

Connect Protect end point control also allows the signing of removable media, allowing an administrator to sign any removable media device, and prevent data leakage access to media that has not been signed. The product can also make use of Active Directory group polices, allowing simple and familiar management end point control management of the product and the policies across an organisation.
