Devicelock allows you to enforce an acceptable usage policy for user access to USB and FireWire devices, WiFi and Bluetooth adaptors, CD-Rom and floppy drives, serial and parallel ports and many other plug-and-play devices network-wide.
Even users with local access rights to a device can be controlled with the use of this product, a key issue with USB and external drives.
This is to close the gap in Group Security Policy that has occured with the common-place use of these devices.
You can:
Control access to the above depending on time of day, day of the week and by user or group. Policy even remains with the user from PC to PC.
Create a white list of USB devices that allow specified devices authorised access, even by serial number to dictate a corporate standard for mass storage devices.
Enable USB access for Blackberry's and portable user devices but disable the use of mass storage devices by the same user, this is key for mobile workers.
Set devices in read-only mode - a key security feature to avoid sensitive files being copied and taken from the building, much the same as you might monitor and block outbound email attachments
Protect discs from accidental or intentional formatting
Flush unsaved file buffers, useful for removable media
