With the surging popularity of mobile devices and the growing demand for access to information anytime, anywhere, has come an increased need to secure the data stored on these mobile devices. From traditional laptop computers to the new generation of handheld devices to the small form-factor ‘flash’ or ‘thumb’ drives, the smaller these devices become, the more data individuals want to store on them. And the more data that is stored on these devices and taken outside the physical walls of the company, the greater the threat of data loss or theft. Most often, companies turn to encryption technologies to protect their information. By encrypting the data stored on laptops and other mobile devices, companies feel a sense of security that their data is safe from unauthorized access if the system or device is lost or stolen.
But securing data at rest is just one piece of a comprehensive mobile security strategy. You also need to control which information can and cannot be copied to a removable storage device or media. You must prevent the unauthorized viewing of data that is validly stored on removable media. And you need to control what actions users can take with specific data—editing, updating, copying, and printing, for example—stored on any corporate laptop, mobile device, or removable media. How can you implement a complete mobile security strategy from data at-rest on your corporate desktops and laptops to removable storage devices? With mobile security solutions from McAfee®. Thanks to endpoint encryption and data loss prevention (DLP) integrated into our awardwinning security management system, you gain complete control over your information and can ensure the security of your mobile workforce.
Ensure Mobile Workforce Security with McAfee ToPS for Data
McAfee Total Protection (ToPS) for Data enables you to completely secure your confidential data and your mobile workforce. Comprised of McAfee Endpoint Encryption, McAfee Device Control, McAfee Encrypted USB, and McAfee Host Data Loss Prevention—all centrally managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™)—the McAfee ToPS for Data suite brings together network and system threat protection, physical and behavioral controls for sensitive data, and compliance management in a single, integrated solution. So only authorized users can access your confidential and sensitive data—anytime, anywhere.
Encrypt Your Data and Control Where It can be Stored or Copied
Using McAfee encryption solutions, you can encrypt, protect, and control the information stored on all your corporate systems and removable devices. Offering two forms of encryption to protect data from unauthorized access when stored or in transit, McAfee Endpoint Encryption provides robust, certified, standards-based physical protection for data on every system in your organization. Full-disk encryption helps ensure that information remains secure when stored at-rest on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. And using McAfee’s patented Persistent Encryption Technology™, you can encrypt specific files and folders and ensure they remain encrypted regardless of where they are saved.
To control how users copy data onto removable media, such as USB drives, MP3 players, CDs, and DVDs, McAfee Device Control lets you monitor and restrict what data can be copied onto these devices. Using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® to deploy the software onto your managed endpoints, you define the policies that control which content can and cannot be copied onto which removable storage devices. Then, McAfee Device Control automatically enforces these policies, monitors usage, and blocks any unauthorized attempts to use these devices or transfer data in violation of defined policies. And McAfee Device Control even recognizes your data as yours when it has been modified, copied, pasted, compressed, or encrypted —keeping data within your control and giving you peace of mind that it is safe from unauthorized access.
With McAfee Encrypted USB, you can prevent data on these small form-factor USB drives from being viewed by unauthorized individuals, either accidentally or maliciously. McAfee’s powerful encryption technology and strong access controls ensures that information copied and stored on USB storage devices is protected and can only be read by authorized users.
