DriveLock makes it easy to centrally control the protection of your data, without requiring additional servers.

Core Protection: Drives and Devices

Remote detection of all removable devices that have been used; no Agent installation is required. Scan results can be used to easily add approved drives and devices to whitelists.

Dynamic, configurable locking of removable drives and media (USB memory sticks, floppy disks, CD-ROM, SD cards, eSATA disks, etc.)

Controls the use most types of devices (Bluetooth, Palm, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry smartphones, card readers, imaging devices, network adapters, modems, sound, video and game controllers, cameras, printers and many more)

Locks most types of ports, including USB controllers, 1394/Firewire controllers, PCMCIA controllers, infrared controllers, serial (COM) and parallel (LPT) ports

Configurable whitelists to allow access to devices (device type or device model)

Specific storage devices can be controlled based on their serial numbers

Separate access lists can be defined for individual devices or group of devices

Access can be granted to selected users and groups

Fully integrated with Active Directory and Group Policy

Also supports most other network operating systems, including Novell NetWare and Linux

Policy enforcement dynamically adjusts permissions based on the currently logged-on user

Assign drive letters to removable drives to avoid conflicts with network drives

File filters to allow or deny coping of specific file types

Auditing of which files are read from or written to removable drives

Shadowing of files keeps a full record of the content of files that are copied to or from removable drives

Separate configuration of read and write access for removable drives

Anti-tampering mechanisms, such as an optional password for uninstalling DriveLock, to prevent unauthorized disabling of the system protection

Antivirus

New: DriveLock's state-of-the-art virus protection is controlled and monitored using a central console. This includes some of the most advanced methods for antivirus and antispyware technologies (heuristics and behavior-based detection) as well as proactive defense against malicious software that keeps constantly changing itself to evade detection (polymorphic malware).

With its completely integrated Commtouch® antivirus engine, DriveLock delivers the following benefits:

The integrated virus protection can block all access to external storage devices and media when malicious software has been detected and only allow access again once the malware has been removed. This integration provides much better security than external antivirus software because the DriveLock virus scanner can scan any external media for malware before ever giving access to a user. This happens lightning-fast so users don't even notice the added protection.
