Protect Your Network from Portable Devices such USB
drives, iPods, and PDAs
The proliferation of consumer devices such as iPods,
USB devices, Smart Phones and more, has dramatically
increased the risk of intentional and unintentional
data leaks and other malicious activity. While most
companies have anti-virus software, firewalls, email
and web content security to protect against external
threats, few realize how easy it is for an employee to
simply walk in and copy large amounts of sensitive
data onto an iPod or USB stick. There is also an
increased risk of malicious and other illegal software
introduction to your network through these devices. Of
course your administrator could lock down all ports,
an ill-advised, difficult and unsustainable solution.

Prevent Data Theft and Virus Infection from within
with Endpoint Security Software
Many businesses are unaware of, or choose to ignore,
the threat presented by portable devices in their
network environment until some event, ranging from
unfortunate to catastrophic, happens. According to
eMedia research, few small to medium sized businesses
consider portable storage devices to be a major
threat; with fewer than 20% having implemented
software to mitigate the risk. The key to managing
portable devices in your business environment is to
give your administrators direct control over what
devices are in use on your network. With GFI
