Centralizes Management of Mobile Storage and Remote Access Devices
Corporations, financial services companies, and government agencies have an urgent and pressing need to protect to their key information resources even from leakage and theft. The recent proliferation of USB Flash Drives, UFDs, has enabled uncooperative users and malicious parties to copy vast quantities of private information in a few short moments. Much like the floppy drives in early PC, these new drives offer significant advantages, such as the convenience of file portability and improved productivity. However, they also possess inherent risk that compromised devices could expose private and confidential information.
Most companies do nothing to manage or monitor USB devices even if they have security policies that restrict mobile storage in place. Prior to KeyPoint, IT organizations had no granular visibility into the actions of flash drives. Security-conscious companies attempted to manage mobile devices while within sphere of their network but lost control as soon as the devices left the company premises. KeyPoint Manager Alchemy offers a complete record of all device activity – both online and offline.

Extends Security Policy Beyond Network Perimeter
Only KeyPoint secures mobile files and identity data even if the device lost or stolen. RedCannon's policy-driven management enables IT to remotely destroy the devices at the press of a button or if the devices are subject to brute force or physical attacks. KeyPoint significantly reduces the risk of data leakage from mobile devices especially when KeyPoint is standardized upon as the official company flash drive.
KeyPoint policy enforcement protects enterprise networks from malware including spyware, key loggers and Trojans by prohibiting contaminated PCs from even logging into the network. The appliance even enables IT to enforce password policies and ensure files are encrypted on USB drives. Furthermore, confidential content is always protected, if a KeyPoint device is ever lost or an employee is terminated the KeyPoint Manager can disable or remotely destroy the devices. This level of control enables IT to securely allow anywhere, anytime computing.

Enables Auditability and Demonstrates Regulatory Compliance
KeyPoint Manager delivers complete history of all USB device activity even when the devices are offline or connected to untrusted PCs. Managers have the ability to define the level of detail a detailed log of all user activity and file activity. This level of granularity allows complete visibility into file activity, even if the device is offline. The same technology that ensures KeyPoint devices have the latest spyware is used to constantly update the Manager with the latest device logs.
In some cases, KeyPoint alleviates the need to disclose lost or stolen devices since companies can prove that private data was never exposed. All files in the KeyPoint Vault are automatically encrypted to FIPS standards; the log of these files demonstrates that sensitive information was adequately protected as set forth in many compliance regulations and breach notification laws.
