Control Guard
Securing your data

Elonex has long been appreciative of the need for secure, intelligent, flexible, cost-effective and simple IT solutions for modern businesses. Elonex in partnership with Control Guard have developed a unique solution that clearly satisfies these needs.

How can you prevent information theft and proprietary data leakage?
Most occurrences of data leakage and theft are attributed to insiders. While enterprise networks are typically protected by a variety of security applications, PCs and laptops (endpoints) are often left exposed to threats from within. Anyone with access to endpoints can easily download proprietary information or infect them with viruses, Trojan horses or other malware, using common portable devices and removable media such as CDs, memory sticks and iPods. These unmanaged portable devices and removable media pose a serious security threat. ControlGuard provides a solution to address this threat: Endpoint Access Manager.

Typical corporate network security provides inadequate protection of corporate endpoints which can be bypassed by commonly used plug and play devices, such as CDs, memory sticks, PDAs and smart phones. These portable devices can be simply hooked up to a local machine and if undetected pose a serious threat to your company’s information security.

Endpoint Access Manager prevents information leakage and unauthorized access to ANY device or interface.

Endpoint Access Manager effectively protects your data by:

• .: Controlling and monitoring how information is downloaded from endpoints.
• .: Shielding your network from malware copied to endpoints from removable media and portable devices.
• .: Securing your network from exposure to the outside world through wireless modems, WiFi, Bluetooth and other interfaces.

Protecting Your Enterprise Data
Endpoint Access Manager is an enterprise- grade solution for controlling, monitoring and logging how information is downloaded and uploaded to the endpoints. By implementing policy-based control of endpoint access to portable devices and removable media, Control- Guard’s solution effectively prevents unauthorized use of enterprise data. Endpoint Access Manager is deployed and managed centrally. Security administrators define policies that are automatically distributed to the endpoints. These policies are enforced and all relevant events are communicated back to the Management Server. Close integration with enterprise directories and enterprise management systems enables easy deployment and extensive monitoring and reporting.

Endpoint Access Manager Implementation Endpoint Access Manager includes a Management Server, a Management Console and Endpoint Agents. The Management Server is deployed at a central location within the enterprise network. The Endpoint Agents are deployed seamlessly to the endpoints using standard enterprise distribution tools. The Management Server intelligently communicates security policies to the Agents. The Agents enforce the policies, monitor endpoint activities and communicate back to the Management Server relevant data.

The Management Console offers robust tools to display and report endpoint activities, including:

• .: Real-time notifications
• .: Audit logs stored in corporate databases
• .: Customized web-based reports
