Without clear visibility into employee computer activity your organization is at risk of data loss to high-risk computer usage such as using unauthorized applications and visiting malicious websites.
CurrentWare offers a robust employee monitoring solution that helps businesses boost productivity and ensure compliance. With tools for tracking web usage, application activity, screen monitoring, and USB device access, CurrentWare provides comprehensive insights into employee performance.
Its real-time monitoring and detailed reporting capabilities enable managers to identify productivity trends, optimize workflows, and address potential issues promptly.
Whether you’re managing remote teams or ensuring adherence to company policies, CurrentWare’s intuitive interface and customizable features make it the ideal solution for streamlined, effective employee monitoring.
Web Filtering
Web filtering is an essential component of any DLP strategy. Blocking high-risk websites such as unauthorized cloud storage services and malicious websites ensures that data is not leaked to these egress points.

CurrentWare’s web filtering and internet security tools help businesses maintain a secure and productive online environment. With customizable filters, you can block access to inappropriate or non-work-related websites, reducing distractions and safeguarding sensitive data.
Additionally, CurrentWare’s web filtering features prevent employees from accessing malicious sites, helping to protect your organization from cybersecurity threats. By offering detailed reports on web activity, CurrentWare gives you the insights needed to ensure compliance, improve productivity, and minimize risks associated with internet usage in the workplace.
Setup & Deployment
Thanks to its simple interface and setup process, getting started with CurrentWare is easy—whether or not you’re an experienced system administrator. CurrentWare offers a variety deployment options that suit the installation needs of organizations of all sizes.
Both CurrentWare and DeviceLock can be deployed on-premises or on a self-managed cloud server through cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform.
In terms of setup and deployment, DeviceLock’s greatest strength is its cross-platform combability across Windows and Mac, whereas CurrentWare is currently only available for Windows machines. That said, DeviceLock’s MacOS agent does not have full feature parity with its Windows equivalent.
Customer Support
Even the best alternatives to Acronis DeviceLock DLP need to have a reliable technical support team to ensure that its customers get the services they need to make the most of their data loss prevention solutions.
