In addition, administrators can monitor, block and/or log files that are written to or read from these devices.
In addition to SafeGuard PortProtector, the comprehensive SafeGuard PortAuditor helps administrators visualize who is connecting to corporate endpoints. With SafeGuard PortAuditor, administrators can distinguish between secure productivity enhancers, such as authentication tokens, and potential security threats, such as mass-storage MP3 players.
