USB CopyNotify! is a simple to use security
software
that
monitors and controls USB Removable Storage Devices
being used on
any
computer on
the office network.
With the advancement
of technology, USB devices
can store
gigabytes
of
data and have become very
small in size. This
makes it very easy
for a
person to
walk
into office, copy
confidential
data onto the
USB Drive
and
walk away without
anyone even
knowing about. In addition to USB
Flash
Drives,
iPODS are also being used to steal
important
company
data.
Today, USB removal storage devices come in various forms
& devices
such as USB Zip Drives, USB Thumb Drives, USB Memory
Sticks, USB Flash
Drives, iPODs, mp3 players, external HDDs/CDs & Mobile
Phones having
the USB interface. All these devices connect via the USB
slot of the
computer and allows you to copy data onto them from the
PC as well
as your network extremely easily.
Hence monitoring the usage of these devices on the PCs
on your
network becomes crucial as it has several data security
implications.
As soon as someone in
your
office uses removable
media
such as a USB
removable
drive on any computer on the office network, the sophisticated
detection
system
of USB CopyNotify! alerts you
of the
same
immediately.
A log of the activity is
also maintained automatically so that
it can
be audited
at a
later stage.
USB CopyNotify! Sends 'Save
Energy' Alerts also.
USB CopyNotify! now also alerts you when
any computer in office has been ON yet INACTIVE for a
specified period of time hence indicating the possible
wastage of power/energy. This alert hence helps
you conserve energy in office by reminding you that
there are idle computers which need to be switched off
or set to energy saving mode.
