Protect Your Network from Portable Devices such as USB drives, iPods and PDAs
According to the Ponemon Institute, 59% of people who lost their job admitted to taking confidential company information with them either on DVD or using USB drives. The proliferation of consumer devices such as iPods, USB devices, Smart Phones and more, has dramatically increased the risk of intentional and unintentional data leaks and other malicious activity. While most companies have anti-virus software, firewalls, email and web content security to protect against external threats, few realize how easy it is for an employee to simply walk in and copy large amounts of sensitive data onto an iPod or USB stick. 
There is also an increased risk of malicious and other illegal software introduction to your network through these devices. Of course your administrator could lock down all ports, an ill-advised, difficult and unsustainable solution.
Prevent Data Theft and Virus Infection from within with Endpoint Security Software
Many businesses are unaware of, or choose to ignore, the threat presented by portable devices in their network environment until some event, ranging from unfortunate to catastrophic, happens. In hard economic times, cybercrime and data leakage increase and endpoints are an easy target. The key to managing portable devices in your business environment is to give your administrators direct control over what devices are in use on your network. With GFI EndPointSecurity™ you not only gain control over what is in use but you also know what has been used and by who, and most importantly you gain in-depth knowledge of what data has been copied.

Powerful piece of software
In an extensive review of GFI EndPointSecurity™ in Windowsecurity.com, Jakob H. Heidelberg gives the product 4.5 out of 5 and a Gold Award. In his review, he says GFI EndPointSecurity offers great features “to take control of vulnerable data and network environments”. He highlights the product’s security advantages over Microsoft Windows Vista Group Policy, such as GFI EndPointSecurity’s ability “to exert almost the exact same level of granular control over all 32-bit versions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003 based computers and all devices without a file system. These include printers, scanners, modems, Bluetooth dongles, etc”; something that administrators cannot do in Windows Vista. He also talks highly of GFI EndPointSecurity’s tracking of device usage and log management. Concluding he recommends readers to download and try out “this powerful piece of software”. - Windowsecurity.com, March 2007
