Faronics Device Filter empowers IT administrators with the
ability to block peripheral devices from connecting to
desktop computers. Any peripheral device—such as an iPod,
USB drive, Bluetooth phone, or digital camera—can be managed
to prevent unauthorized data transfers or connections from
taking place. IT personnel are able to assign permanent,
temporary, or one-time-only authorizations to devices, and
can also assign constraints to filter devices or network
connections based on capacity. With the ability to generate
usage reports, Device Filter allows system administrators to
monitor the network-wide device connections and file
transfers that have taken place.

Protect Against Distractions
By
preventing students from being able to access their
peripherals via classroom computers, Device Filter
helps eliminate classroom distractions—such as games
on USB Drives, music from iPods, and pictures from
digital cameras. Device Filter also allows schools
to balance security with flexibility—instructors are
able to authorize permanent, temporary, or
one-time-only authorizations to devices so that
students can open or save their work using a
portable device if required.
Prevent Malicious Uploading
One of
the consequences of the cheap and popular nature of
portable storage is that it becomes a conduit for
malicious software. As soon as an employee or
visitor connects a portable drive to a corporate
computer, they run the risk—whether it is accidental
or intentional—of infecting network systems with any
malicious software on the drive. Device Filter
protects against this threat by blocking all
unauthorized data connections from taking place. |

Prevents Data Theft
Device
Filter helps organizations ensure that corporate
data remains safe by preventing data from being
transferred off-site without the necessary
permission levels. Employees and visitors who
attempt an unauthorized data connection will find
their attempts denied and recorded in the system
logs. IT administrators can review the logs to
determine the source of the intrusion.
