Why removable media remains a high-risk data exfiltration channel
Despite increased use of cloud and SaaS platforms, removable media remains a common cause of data loss, audit findings, and insider incidents. Without enforceable controls, simple actions like copying files to USB storage can expose:
- Personally identifiable information (PII)
- Financial and payment data
- Regulated identifiers and records
- Source code and intellectual property
- Confidential internal documents
- Unencrypted data moved outside controlled environments
Real-time control over removable media access and data transfers
Detect and control file transfers to USB storage and other removable media in real time. Policies are enforced directly at the endpoint, allowing or blocking access based on user, device, data type, and context - without relying on network connectivity or perimeter controls.
Cross-platform endpoint enforcement
Apply consistent removable media security policies across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. All inspection, enforcement, and logging occurs locally at the endpoint, ensuring reliable control for office, remote, and offline users.
Broad visibility across data types and removable media usage
Monitor and control sensitive data copied to removable media, including PII, PCI data, healthcare records, source code, and proprietary documents. Track file activity across common formats such as Office files, PDFs, archives, CAD files, and encrypted containers.
