Unfortunately, many businesses ignore or are unaware of the threat 

until something actually happens. According to research conducted 

by eMedia on behalf of GFI in the US, few medium-sized businesses 

consider portable storage devices to be a major threat while less 

than 20% had implemented software to address this risk. The key to 

managing portable device use is to install an endpoint security solution 

that gives administrators control over what devices are in use, have been 

used and by whom, as well as an in-depth knowledge of what data has 

been copied. It is also important to control sensitive data when it needs 

to be taken outside the company’s premises on a portable device.

GFI EndPointSecurity™ enables administrators to actively manage user 

access and log the activity of:

 

Ů

Media players, including iPods, Creative Zen and others  

 

Ů

USB sticks, CompactFlash, memory cards, CDs, floppies and other 

portable storage devices

 

Ů

iPhone and BlackBerry handhelds, mobile phones, smartphones 

and similar communication devices

 

Ů

Network cards, laptops and other network connections. 

To control access, GFI EndPointSecurity installs a hidden, small footprint 

agent on the machine. This agent can be deployed to machines 

network-wide with just a few clicks. 

Using GFI EndPointSecurity you can centrally disable users from 

accessing portable storage media, preventing users from stealing 

data or bringing in data that could be harmful to your network, such 

as viruses, trojans and other malware. Although you can switch off 

portable storage devices such as CD and/or floppy access from the BIOS, 

in reality this solution is impractical: You would have to physically visit 

the machine to temporarily switch off protection and install software. In 

addition, advanced users can hack the BIOS. GFI EndPointSecurity allows 

you to take control over a wide variety of devices.

In addition to blocking access to portable storage media, GFI 

EndPointSecurity logs device-related user activity to both the event log 

and to a central SQL Server. A list of files that have been accessed on a 

given device is recorded every time an authorised user plugs in.

Users can be given permission to store data 

on USB devices as long as it is encrypted. 

Access to this data outside the company 

network can be strictly controlled by a 

purpose-built traveler application, which 

is included with GFI EndPointSecurity.

Along with real file type detection, GFI EndPointSecurity also delivers 

content verification based on regular expressions or dictionary files. 

This enables the detection of security- sensitive information present 

in popular document formats. The product ships with a number 

of predefined templates that detect potential leaks of credit card 

numbers, personal identification numbers and so on.
