Using personal USB devices at work
Most likely, either you or your colleagues have used, at one point, a
personal USB device to transfer or carry sensitive company data. The scenario
repeats in almost all businesses and organizations.
What you as an IT expert know, is that data security is compromised each time an employee uses a personal USB device to access and transfer company data.
The Protiva Smart Guardian responds to the needs of a company’s IT department to enforce strong security policies for portable devices such as USB tokens. Encrypted company data is securely stored within the Smart Guardian. In addition, the smart card-based two-factor authentication (using the Smart Guardian token and a passphrase that user knows) provides a strong lock-down mechanism for any unauthorized access. The device simply locks down after a pre-determined threshold for unauthorized passphrase tries. This means peace of mind for both users that carry around sensitive data and for device administrators in-charge of enforcing company-wide IT security policies.
