Restrict and Audit Access to USB and Endpoint Devices
With the influx of mobile storage devices such as USB devices and smartphones, stealing confidential data and electronic personal health information (ePHI) files can be achieved quite discreetly without the approval or knowledge of authorities.
AccessPatrol provides comprehensive endpoint security to prevent theft of sensitive data and ePHI:
Enforce selective data access: Implement access privileges: read only, read and write, or no access to patient data files.
Whitelist Endpoints: Completely block access to all endpoints. Allow access to authorized endpoint devices, such as USBs and external hard drives, using the AccessPatrol Allowed List.
Removable Storage Auditing: Inclusive reporting ensures speedy identification of abusive use of endpoint devices.
Offsite Management: Endpoint security policies will be maintained, even if the computer or laptop is used outside the building.
