Centennial DeviceWall

You've spent millions keeping your data safe from hackers outside the organization. But thanks to the popularity of small data storage devices such as USB fl ash drives, MP3 players and PDA's, it's now easier to steal data from the inside than it is to break in to your IT systems across the internet.

DeviceWall® from Centennial Software helps protect your data, both on and off the network, by:

• preventing the transfer of files to or from unauthorized portable devices
• automatically encrypting data copied to approved devices
• providing complete visibility of device and file accesses

Maintaining the integrity of the network

Whether it’s an opportunist taking documents to a competitor or a well-meaning employee copying an
infected file to the network, leaving portable device use unchecked is an invitation to disaster. DeviceWall prevents the unwanted transfer of data to or from portable devices by automatically enforcing security policies based on a user’s legitimate need to access specific device types. User access can be blocked, limited to read-only or left unrestricted according to the individual’s security privileges and device type in use.

Securing data in transit

Nearly two-thirds of all USB drives are lost by their owners. Without the right protection, what’s to stop that data ending up in the wrong hands? DeviceWall can automatically encrypt all data copied to authorized storage devices such as USB flash drives. Using the latest Blowfish and AES 256-bit ciphers, DeviceWall ensures that even if data is lost in transit, it won’t create a costly and embarrassing security breach.

Total visibility

You can’t manage security if you can’t see what’s being connected to the network, what files are being
accessed and how the security policy is being applied. DeviceWall provides complete visibility of all user and administrator actions, recording everything from individual device connections to the most popular files read from or copied to portable devices. A full audit trail of administrator actions completes the range of forensics available. (See reporting fact sheet for more information). Regardless of whether the device
is connected locally or wirelessly, if the PC is on the corporate network or offline, DeviceWall constantly
manages device connections to ensure the integrity of your network is not compromised. Through it’s combination of strong security and flexible management capabilities, DeviceWall prevents both malicious and accidental security breaches, keeping data safe, both on and off the network.

Advantages

Single-screen admin

All administration, including creating, modifying and deploying security policies can be done in DeviceWall’s single-screen Policy Control Center. There is no need to repeatedly switch back and forth between multiple windows.

One-click deployment

Client agents can be deployed and updated across Active Directory and NT domains from within the DeviceWall Control Center, without third-party software distribution tools.

Advanced device granularity

DeviceWall can manage both entire device ‘classes’ as well as specific devices. Using the Policy Customizer, it is easy to create white lists of corporate approved devices.

Total visibility

DeviceWall automatically records device connections, file accesses and policy changes. These forensics can be viewed directly from the main Control Center in tabular or in graphical form, or can be exported into CSV format.

Intuitive processes & wizards

Designed to work the way you want to, DeviceWall features wizards which will help you create and deploy security policies faster than ever. Intuitive processes make changing permissions or updating policies an easy task for any authorized user without the need for specialist training.

Super-strength encryption

256-bit AES and Blowfish ciphers are the strongest available, ensuring that any data carried offsite is protected against misuse by unauthorized third parties. The choice of global or personal keys give maximum flexibility for security management.

User education

DeviceWall’s configurable dialogs help organizations ensure that employees are informed about security policies, reducing help desk calls and improving user acceptance.
