6 +1 Reasons to Use DriveLock
1. Control the use of drives and removable media. You decide who can use removable media, such as USB flash drives, and which file types users can access. General rules for each drive type can be combined with detailed whitelist rules to let you enforce your organization’s security policy without preventing users from getting their work done. With DriveLock you get complete control of where your data is going and what can be copied to your computers.
2. Control the use of all devices. Intelligent control of mobile devices, including digital cameras, MP3 players, cell phones, BlackBerry devices and many others, means that you decide who can use which devices in your network. Define general rules that apply to all devices of the same type and create detailed whitelist and blacklist rules for specific devices or models. DriveLock enforces these rules throughout your network to help you prevent network instability and the loss of important data.
3. Protect your laptop computers. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential data on lost or stolen laptop computers is a big concern to many organizations. DriveLock Full Drive Encryption (FDE) can encrypt all hard disks on a computer, including the system partition. Pre-boot authentication ensures that only authorized users can get to any data on the disk, including temporary files. Encryption is completely transparent to users so there’s no need to change work habits.
4. Encrypt removable media. Often banning the use of removable media from your network is not an acceptable solution. But when users take company data out of the office on USB thumb drives and other removable media, you risk that the information falls into the wrong hands when a device is lost. DriveLock removable media encryption ensures that such data is encrypted, automatically and transparently. Authorized users can also access this data on home computers and other computers that don’t belong to your network by using the Mobile Encryption Application and providing the encryption password.
5. Stay informed. To protect your network you need to know who is doing what. The DriveLock Security Reporting Center can give you insight into the use of removable drives, devices and applications. Quickly find specific events or create reports of user activities to spot trends and get alerted to security risks.
6. Easy administration. Securing your network doesn’t need to be difficult. DriveLock takes advantage of your existing IT infrastructure. Select from several deployment methods, including Active Directory Group Policy. (No schema modifications are required.) Assign permissions to existing users and groups in your network and get a quick start with the intuitive DriveLock Management Console.
7. Control who runs what. With the DrivelLock Application Launch Filter you are in contol. You determine which applications users can run and enforce comprehensive policies on device usage. Flexible whitelist and blacklist rules allow for unparalleled granular control. Or you can use the auditing mode to monitor all application use and get a complete picture of who is running which programs in your network.
