Explanation:
Removable media/IO device manager

By centrally controlling access to removable media/IO devices, the system

administrator can control user access to floppy disks, memory sticks, PDAs,

flash memory, Zip/Jazz drives, digital cameras etc. (CDs, CDRs, DVDs can be

protected by integrating Check Point Optimum or using Device Manager).

Removable Media Manager controls device access on all available ports

including USB and Firewire. All removable media/IO devices must be

authorised before use is granted. Authorisation can be centrally managed or

users can authorise their own devices providing certain rules are met (see

data authorisation & Anti-Virus scanner integration below). A digital signature

is written to a device to mark it as authorised. The digital signature is

automatically updated during file transfers within the protected environment.

If changes to the media are permitted outside of the organisation, the device

will require re-authorisation before it can be used again within the protected

environment. The system enforces that all devices are virus free, prevents

illegal importing of data and more importantly can prevent the unauthorised

exporting of data. This system will also stop users gaining access to any

unauthorised hot-swap & plug-and-play devices.
