Why should I block cell phones from connecting to computers?

The use of personal cell phones in the workplace is not just a distraction, they are also a high-risk device that needs to be addressed as part of your endpoint security policy.

Data security risks of cell phones

Data Exfiltration: Unless you assign read-only access to mobile devices, employees can connect their phones to their workstations and illicitly transfer data to their smartphone’s microSD card or internal storage.

Mobile Malware: Worms, trojans, and other malicious software can be unknowingly transferred to and from mobile devices. All it takes is an employee with Full Access permissions to plug their compromised device into their computer for the attack to begin.

Without policy-based enforcement these devices can easily lead to costly data breaches. AccessPatrol protects endpoint devices and corporate data against cell phones with its centralized device policy management features. Block phones, flash drives, external harddrives, and other peripheral devices to stop insider threats from mishandling and stealing sensitive data.
