Stop Trojan USB! AnySecura's Smart Fortress Tames Rogue Drives
Mobile storage devices, with their significant advantages of being compact, portable, and having large storage capacities, have become a "capable assistant" for enterprise data interaction. However, this seemingly convenient "assistant" also hides many hidden risks. The loss or theft of mobile storage devices can instantly "expose" important secrets to the public, and malicious individuals may secretly copy company confidentials using USB drives, mobile hard drives, etc.
Moreover, mobile storage devices are highly prone to becoming a "breeding ground" for viruses and malware. Once an abnormal device is connected to an enterprise terminal, Trojan viruses will quickly spread within the enterprise intranet, seriously threatening the security of enterprise terminals and confidential data.
Relying solely on rules and regulations to standardize the use of mobile storage devices is difficult to eliminate leakage risks. Enterprises can combine technical measures to control the access of mobile storage devices and document copying behaviors, thereby ensuring the safe use of devices. AnySecura provides a specialized solution to help enterprises implement mobile storage device management, starting from multiple perspectives such as access, read-write authorization, and auditing of mobile storage devices, to manage the use of mobile storage devices in a compliant manner.
AnySecura Mobile Storage Management: Controlling Access and Usage, and Monitoring Document Copying Dynamics
1. Controlling Device Access and Recording Device Information
AnySecura can help individually control the read-write permissions of each mobile storage device and prohibit external mobile storage devices from being used within the enterprise. It can identify all mobile storage devices connected to enterprise terminals and record detailed device information, thereby accurately grasping the usage of mobile storage devices.
2. Classifying and Managing Devices to Standardize Usage Scopes
Only allowing specified mobile storage devices to be used within specified scopes can effectively prevent confidential documents from being copied from computers. Enterprises can classify and authorize mobile storage devices according to different dimensions such as users, departments, and specific devices, so that mobile storage devices can only be used in areas authorized by the enterprise. For example, USB drives from the administrative department cannot be used in the R&D department, preventing documents from important departments from being copied to other departments.
3. Encrypting Mobile Drives to Eliminate Fears of Device Loss
Once a mobile storage device is lost, the confidential documents inside are highly vulnerable to leakage.
AnySecura can format ordinary mobile storage devices into encrypted drives, which cannot be opened on unauthorized computers. There is no need to worry about the encrypted drive being lost or taken by irrelevant personnel. A financial enterprise adopted this encryption method to ensure the security of customer data. Even if employees accidentally lost their mobile storage devices, the customer data was still properly protected.
4. Restricting Auto-Play to Curb Virus Spread
Criminals intentionally use USB removable media as the initial attack vector to steal sensitive information from hosts, which has shown a rapid spread trend. AnySecura can help restrict the auto-play of mobile storage devices when they are first connected, preventing viruses from spreading to enterprise intranet terminals through mobile storage devices.
5. Data Dashboard for Auditing Mobile Storage Device Usage
Administrators are usually unaware of which mobile storage devices are connected to terminal computers. AnySecura provides a complete auditing solution to help grasp the usage of devices. Through the data dashboard function, administrators can conduct more detailed analysis of the usage behaviors of mobile storage devices within the network.
- Statistics on Total Copies: Record the number and size of files copied into mobile storage devices on the day, and analyze the usage of registered and unregistered devices, forming a pie chart to count the total number and size of copied-in and copied-out files.
- Statistics by File Type: Count the number and size of copied files by different file types.
- High-Frequency Users: Directly display users who use mobile storage devices most frequently in a day without further analysis.
- Copying Trends: Directly display the trends of document copying to keep track of dynamics in a timely manner.
- Top Statistics: Quickly analyze massive data and form a bar chart to display the top 10 users in terms of the number and size of copied files.
- Identifying Abnormal Copying Users: Identify users with abnormal USB drive copying on a daily basis through scatter plots, and handle high-risk behaviors in a timely manner.
The data dashboard provides various charts, allowing administrators to directly view various statistical data of mobile storage devices within the network and detect abnormal behaviors in a timely manner. For example, through the data dashboard, it was found that an employee frequently copied a large number of confidential files in a short period of time, and an investigation and handling were carried out promptly, avoiding further leakage of confidential information.
Only when the use of mobile storage devices is controllable can leakage be better prevented during document interaction. AnySecura mobile storage management has now become part of the information protection system of many enterprises, helping enterprises effectively control the access and use of mobile storage devices. Complete auditing also allows enterprises to fully grasp the usage of mobile storage devices and better prevent leakage through mobile storage.
