Customers requiring an approved Enhanced Grade peripheral device control at a bus level there is Becrypt Advanced Port Control, which disables all devices except built-in boot disks, essential human interface devices and devices enabled by administrators. With device control, organisations are able to easily block devices and manage which devices are permitted to access the network to prevent data leaks and theft by any device.
The device control software is managed via a simple configuration tool that allows administrators to create and maintain separate security policies for protected machines and each individual user. To prevent policy conflict the user policy is implemented in preference to the machine policy, however if no policy exists all devices will be disabled except those enabled by default.
Devices can be managed by unique ID or by vendor/model details depending on the level of security required. The port control solution also logs all connections to the network, permitted or blocked, for compliance and audit purposes.
Features
- Works at the bus level, automatically controlling all peripheral devices except essential human interface devices and devices that have been explicitly enabled
- Permits the system administrator to compile and maintain individual machine policies and user policies
- Uses the CESG LOGFIRE algorithm for administrator authentication
- Logs all connection events whether blocked or permitted
