Increasingly within your school network there is a proliferation of easily accessible computer ports, while at the same time more and more devices are designed to connect to them instantaneously and seamlessly. But as the ways to connect to a laptop or desktop have exploded – WiFi, Bluetooth, and others, on top of traditional USB, FireWire, or serial ports – the ways to see and control what is connected have not kept pace.

Key Issues

• Potential virus outbreak
• Distribution of offensive and illegal material
• Installation of unlicensed applications
• Misuse of resources, playing games, downloading /uploading music files
• Launching applications from specially formatted USB flash drives

DeviceShield provides a comprehensive solution which enables schools to see what ports and devices are being used (visibility), and to define a policy that controls their usage (control). DeviceShield controls every endpoint and every device, over every network or interface. It monitors real-time traffic and applies customised, highly granular security policies over all physical and wireless storage devices.
