AccessPatrol - Data Loss Prevention Overview
With the rise of portable storage devices and removable media, data theft is becoming an increasing threat to organizations. Devices such as USB keys, Wi-Fi connections, FireWire ports, Bluetooth devices, iPod, mobile phones and MP3 players are connecting seamlessly to the company networks.
Most IT administrators have no control over the connection of these portable storage devices, leaving company confidential information exposed. Access Patrol provides a comprehensive solution for securing company computers to restrict unauthorized access from personal external storage media to steal your company's proprietary information.
AccessPatrol provides an effective method for power management. With a simple click of the mouse, computers can be remotely shutdown or booted. This function can also be scheduled to force a shutdown of the computers at a specific time or schedule a boot of the computers at the beginning of a work day.
