McAfee Device Control v2.2 - 9 March 2009

It’s 5 p.m. Do you know where your data is? In a McAfee-sponsored survey, more than half of respondents admitted to using portable devices to take confidential data out of their business every week. That’s frightening by anyone’s standard. McAfee Device Control helps you monitor and restrict data copied to removable storage devices and media to keep it from leaving company control.

What value do you place on your customer data or the software that your company has been developing for the past 15 years? How do you know that the new programmer in engineering isn’t downloading your company’s entire software library to the USB drive she keeps on her keychain?

Data loss is one of the most widespread and costly security problems facing companies today. In fact, more than 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies have fallen victim to accidental or malicious data loss. And the costs of data breaches are staggering. In 2007, the average cost was $6.3 million.1

McAfee Device Control protects data from leaving your company’s control and falling into the wrong hands through removable media, such as USB drives, MP3 players, CDs, and DVDs. It gives you the tools you need to monitor and control how users copy data onto these devices—regardless of whether they’re in the office, at home, or on the move.

Regulate the use of removable media on your network
