Protect the integrity of your network

DeviceWall from Centennial Software addresses one of the major security threats facing many organizations – the unauthorized use of removable media by anyone with access to PCs on the network. These small, yet high-capacity devices, coupled with the enhancements in high speed connectivity through Firewire and USB ports pose a huge risk to businesses today as they can be deliberately or inadvertently used to remove sensitive data from the corporate network, introduce malicious code or transfer inappropriate content.

DeviceWall enables organizations to protect themselves against malicious and accidental computer misuse by managing access to devices such as USB sticks, iPods (and other media players), PDAs, memory cards and even internal CD and DVD writers. However, we also recognize there are legitimate scenarios where some employees will need to use such a device for specific business efficiency purposes.

With DeviceWall, Centennial Software offers a more intelligent alternative to the wholesale lockdown of PCs through the selective management of access to and from particular devices based upon a user’s (or group of users) specific needs and privileges.

Retain full business productivity

Many security solutions are often criticized as providing peace of mind at the expense of productivity. This is not the case with DeviceWall!

The solution allows organizations to keep connections open for legitimate devices that are not capable of storing data, such as mice, keyboards and printers, while maintaining an effective user policy-based barrier against unauthorized connection of portable storage devices.

DeviceWall’s intuitive policy manager interface makes it easy for administrators to ensure that individuals and groups of employees can continue to use certain devices that are core to their job (such as field based employee synchronizing diaries) while others who have no need to use the same device cannot do so.
