In wake of the recent regulations like HIPAA, SOX, GBLA, etc., data security is of prime importance to organizations. For instance HIPAA regulations mandate that data cannot be taken out of an organization unless it is in a secure (encrypted) format. Additionally, best practices call for inventory and logs of all connected devices and all data transferred to a device.
While USB drives and other portable storage devices improve mobility and enhance productivity amongst employees, it is also a major source condifential data loss due to unauthorized access.
Organizations are looking for solutions that can block access of confidential data to unauthorized devices/users, while allowing access to authorized users with secure devices - all in compliance with regulations.
