Caveats - Managing Employee Discontents
As stated earlier, employees may see it as their undeniable right to carry sensitive information from and to the office. Therefore, some may reject the newly implemented endpoint security solution, as they might see it as imposing unwanted and unnecessary limitations. The best way to handle such issues is to make the benefits of using Endpoint Protector known to your staff.
While lack of information can lead to a large number of misunderstandings, employees are rarely unreasonable. Being able to provide all needed details, best practices, and emphasizing the benefits of the enhanced enterprise data safety enabled by your endpoint solution will be enough to handle any emerging issues. Company policies, be it security or behavior related, must be comprehensive and integrated in building your image and company culture.
CoSoSys: Endpoint Protector Solution
Endpoint Protector gives network administrators back the control needed to keep network endpoints safe.
CoSoSys’ Endpoint Protector is the only solution that gives corporations the ability to let the network users use the increasingly important functionality of the USB Port without loosing control over data.
The CoSoSys endpoint solution is designed to control usage of all USB storage and to also keep track of what data users are taking from and to their work computers to any kind of portable USB storage devices. Furthermore, Endpoint Protector enables network administrators to monitor and report what data is introduced into the corporate network from a portable storage device such as prohibited material (such as MP3s, movies or games) or harmful data like a virus that could jeopardize the networks integrity.
As not all portable storage devices are used with the intent to harm the company, many legitimate reasons common justify the need of such devices to increase networks users’ productivity. Endpoint Protector thus allows authorized use of “Trusted Devices” such as the companies’ own USB Flash Drives to copy and transfer data.
To ensure the protection of data carried by users on “Trusted Devices”, Endpoint Protector allows users to copy work data to a password protected / encrypted area of a “Trusted Device” only, so that confidential corporate data is protected in case of a hardware loss.
