What can DeviceLock do for you

• Control which users or groups can access USB, FireWire, Infrared, COM and LPT ports ports, WiFi and Bluetooth adapters, PDAs, smartphones, DVD/CD-ROMs, floppy drives, other removable devices.

• Control access to devices depending on the time of day and day of the week

• Define which types of data (files, calendars, emails, tasks, notes, and other ActiveSync/WMDC protocol objects) are allowed to synchronize between corporate PCs and Windows Mobile personal devices

• Detect encrypted PGP® and TrueCrypt disks (USB Flash Drives and other removable media) as well as Lexar® SAFE PSD encrypted flash drives and apply special "encrypted" permissions to them

• Authorize only specific USB devices that will not be locked regardless of any other settings

• Grant users temporary access to USB devices when there is no network connection (you provide users with the special access codes over the phone that temporarily unlock access to requested devices)

• Uniquely identify a specific DVD/CD-ROM disk by the data signature and authorize access to it, even when DeviceLock® has otherwise blocked the DVD/CD-ROM drive

• Mirror all data (shadowing) copied to external storage devices (removable, floppy, DVD/CD-ROM), Windows Mobile PDAs and smartphones and transferred via COM and LPT ports

• Store shadow data on a centralized component of an existing server and any existing ODBC-compliant SQL infrastructure

• Monitor remote computers in real-time, checking DeviceLock® Service status (running or not), policy consistency and integrity
