Pointsec Device Protector combines port and storage device management from Reflex Magnetics’ DiskNet Pro offering with media encryption to protect removable storage and email, thanks to automatic encryption.
Pointsec said customers can control their employees’ use of personal removable media devices such as USB drives, Bluetooth smartphones, digital cameras and music players, that have wired or wireless connections to their work PCs. it said USBs, along with other plug-and-play removable media devices, can connect directly to workstations and function without IT authorization or knowledge.
They carry the risk of importing unauthorized data, unlicensed software, malicious code, games, screensavers and other inappropriate material, while also increasing the risk of theft of intellectual property and proprietary information. The product limits data transfers to these devices through a configurable security policy and content filtering.
Founded in 1988, Pointsec Mobile Technologies AB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protect Data AB, which is publicly traded on the Stockholm stock exchange.
