The availability and use of portable storage devices and media have exploded over the last several years. Devices such as USB thumb drives, cell phones, iPods, disk drives, Secure Digital (SD) cards, and even digital photo frames are easy to use and highly accessible, but can introduce significant security risks to enterprises.
Organizations struggle between supporting the convenience of such devices and minimizing the inherent risks of potential data exposure. Having the visibility into portable device usage can be extraordinarily challenging, but absolutely necessary in order to enforce configuration standards and reduce the risk of data and system compromise.
BigFix Device Control provides IT administrators with comprehensive, scalable assessment and enforcement of device control policy for any system - anywhere, anytime.
What is BigFix Device Control?
BigFix Device Control is an integral part of the BigFix Unified Management Platform and is especially important to Endpoint Protection. It provides organizations with the ability to see, manage, modify, enforce, and report on access and usage of portable devices on all endpoints throughout an organization - distributed, centralized, on-network, off-network. Whether a user connects an iPod, USB key or other device, BigFix enables comprehensive management of those devices.
