Endpoint Protector – Features

Endpoint Protector provides a policy based approach to enforce the portable device usage rules on endpoints. In a world where portable and lifestyle devices are transforming the way we work and live, Endpoint Protector is designed to maintain productivity and make work more convenient, secure and enjoyable. The whitelist based approach allows the use of specific devices for certain users/groups so that they stay productive while maintaining control of what devices are used and what data users are allowed to transfer. Endpoint Protector dramatically reduces the risk posed by internal threats that could lead to data being leaked, stolen, damaged or otherwise compromised.
