AccessPatrol’s Device Permissions
AccessPatrol lets administrators easily control USB device permissions for the users and endpoints in their network by assigning Full Access, Read Only, and No Access permissions.
- Full Access: No restriction. The user/computer can read and write to the specified external devices that are connected to the computer.
- Read Only: Partial restriction. They can only read the information from the storage device; copying is disabled.
- No Access: Full restriction. The user/computer cannot read or write to the external device.
Why Use a USB Blocking Tool?
As part of a multi-layered data loss prevention strategy you will need security controls to protect data against theft to USB storage devices.
AccessPatrol’s USB blocking tool provides the critical security controls you need to prevent employees, guests, and contractors from stealing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), trade secrets, and financial records.
- USB Security: Enforce the exclusive use of authorized USB devices. AccessPatrol is a critical security control for enforcing your removable media policy.
- Prevent Data Breaches: Flash drives are portable and easy to hide. AccessPatrol’s technical safeguards stop insider threats from transferring sensitive data to all forms of removable media.
