DeviceShield acts as firewall that works on the inside to control access to all removable media devices, including USB memory sticks, CD/DVD drives, Firewire, etc. DeviceShield protects confidential data without restricting access to these files by authorized employees - files can be automatically encrypted so they can even be taken out of the office.

DeviceShield allows you to control what devices can connect to your PCs and what files can be transferred between the PC and the device. The vendor states that DeviceShield allows you to control every port, every drive and individual device on every workstation.

Deployment is managed from a central interface. You can create multiple download policies for every level in your organization: Company wide, domain wide, groups and individual users.
