SecureGuard USB protects organizations from data breaches, data loss, and unauthorized users from
accessing information. SecureGuard USB:

• Limits computer access throughout the organization to authorized USB devices only
• Allows blacklisting and whitelisting specific USB devices via Remote Management Console
• Blocks access to computer when an unauthorized device is inserted
• Prevents viruses and malware from entering via unauthorized USB devices
• Allows authorized USB storage devices to be set in Read Only mode
• Works with SecureData and other portable, external data storage devices

Admin has access to Remote Management, a user-friendly platform that allows control over computers
across the organization via a cloud-based software. Using Remote Management, Admin can:

• Whitelist and blacklist individual or a series of USB devices
• Set devices to Read Only mode
• Access information for devices inserted in ports, whether authorized or unauthorized

How to install or deploy:

• Step 1: Set up Remote Management account and download software pack from link provided
• Step 2: Install on computers throughout organization
• Step 3: Authorize devices allowed for use

Overview

The SecureGuard USB software application is an easy-to-use Data Loss Prevention (DLP) service that is managed via the SecureData Remote Management Console/Services—a subscription-based SaaS. It helps companies avoid painful and costly data leaks by enforcing the use of only authorized USB devices on company-wide computers that have USB ports. It allows Admins/IT Managers to safeguard sensitive information by whitelisting authorized removable storage media and blacklisting prohibited USB pluggable devices to prevent data breaches or virus and malware uploads. Admins/IT Managers have control over device authorization through the cloud-based Remote Management console.

It safeguards sensitive information by whitelisting and blacklisting USB devices for computers with the program installed, including:

• Portable, external data storage devices (USB, HDD, SSD, etc.)
• HIDs/Human interface devices (mouse, keyboard, headset, etc.)
• Mobile and photo/video devices (phone, tablet, camera, etc.)
• Card readers
• Printers and scanners
• And more

When an unauthorized device is inserted into a USB port, the program blocks the user from accessing all computer functions until the device is removed.

How it works…

• Step 1: Set up Remote Management account and download software pack from link provided
• Step 2: Install on computers throughout organization
• Step 3: Authorize devices allowed for use

Login and Management

Downloadable after purchase and easy installation on all computers. An Admin must authenticate during installation of SecureGuard USB using the same credentials from their Remote Management Account. Once the program is installed, the target computer will automatically appear in the Remote Management Account for convenient and easy management.

Remote Management

Remote Management (RM) allows Admin to manage SecureGuard USB through the internet from a remote computer. It is a user-friendly interface that allows remote control and management of the program on all computers with SecureGuard USB installed on them. RM provides Admin with a console for easy management and accessing details.

RM Console

Through RM, Admin can whitelist or blacklist devices by Vendor ID, Product ID, Serial Number or Revision. Only devices allowed by Admin can be used on a host computer. Admin has control over allowed devices and can view detailed reports of port activity on individual computers. RM features a Create New Record field to easily add devices to the whitelist or blacklist. With one click, Admin can easily remove whitelisted devices, which will go into effect within seconds. Admin can also customize authorized drives to access files in Read Only mode.

Access Log

The Report feature tracks all uses of an external drive on an individual computer, whether it is blacklisted or whitelisted. The access log shows detailed USB data, including date and time used, device type, identification numbers and if the program blocked or allowed the device. Note: data stored on external devices is not visible to Admin.

Completely Software Free

Unlike any other remote managed for drives, the SecureData Lock® Remote Management can be added to any BT drive at any time after purchase. The Remote Management console allows the admin to take full control of where/when the drive can be unlocked as well as remotely wiping the data and disabling access even if the user has a drive pin. NO MORE DATA LEAKS due to misplaced portable drives. Contact us for a demo.

Dual Factor Authenticated Drives

Unique dual factor authentication method via User Account and Drive PIN/Password combination. Each user must have their own User name and password in order to access the SecureData Lock® web account. Once authenticated the User must then also posses the pin to the device in order for it to unlock.

Geo-Fencing Secure Drives

The Admin for the account can limit access for the user by any of the following:
(Continent, Country, Address, City, State or Zip Code). Once the geo-location is set the fencing is complete by selecting the radius in KM/MI, this will mark the maximum distance the user can be in order to access the drive.

Time-Fencing Secure Drives

The Admin for the account can limit access for the user by setting time limitations start/end times in any timezone.

User logging

Each login is monitored and saved to show if the attempt was a success and the exact coordinates of the user.

No User Data Access

Since the SecureData Lock® Remote Management Console uses the the Bluetooth channel to communicate with the mobile App there is no access to the USB controller and thus no access to any User data on the drive.
