Endpoints like desktops and laptops are large repositories of organizational data with hundreds and thousands of them carrying critical product, financial, sales, marketing and employee data. Data transfer from these endpoints over USB devices, applications, printers or through network sharing can lead to loss of confidential information. Also, modification and deletion of critical files over the endpoint poses a significant threat to data security.

Lack of strict policies regarding file and device encryption make removable devices the most critical points of data loss. Such data breaches can lead to severe financial and legal liabilities to organizations including loss of customer, partner and stakeholder confidence.

Document Protection – Shadow Copy

Cyberoam allows administrators to implement policies for file transfer to fixed and removable devices as well as network sharing, based on the user or group, file name, extension and application type.

Shadow copies of files during creation, modification, copy and deletion over removable media eliminate the threat of accidental or malicious modification and deletion of data in addition to assisting in forensics.

Encryption – Removable Devices

Cyberoam allows administrators to create a list of permissible removable devices for use within the organization. This enables them to implement organization-wide policies of compulsory usage of encrypted devices in addition to allocating different groups of removable USB devices based on departments, groups and hierarchical levels.

Policies can be defined to control the ability to read and write over removable devices, preventing employees from carrying organizational data in their pockets, a leading cause of data loss. At the second level, administrators can implement policies for compulsory encryption of the removable device or file while writing the file to a device. Imposing compulsory decryption prevents lost USB devices from exposing organizational data to external entities.

Email Controls

Cyberoam allows organizations to control file transfer based on the sender, recipient, subject and attachment name, extension and size, delivering comprehensive controls over email file transfer. Policies can be created based on the user or group’s work profile, offering data protection with work flexibility.

Administrators can control file transfer by file name, extension and size. Logs can be archived for chat conversation as well as file upload and download. This feature also gives shadow copies of the files uploaded and downloaded over IMs.
