AccessPatrol by CurrentWare Inc. is a USB device control and data loss prevention solution designed to protect sensitive data against theft and unauthorized transfers to portable storage devices. It allows administrators to manage and restrict the use of USB ports and other peripheral devices based on user, endpoint, and department. AccessPatrol provides centralized management for scalable device control, enabling the implementation of device control policies from a web browser. It includes features such as file and USB activity monitoring, real-time email alerts, and detailed activity logs to trace data breaches back to their source. AccessPatrol supports the blocking of various devices including USBs, optical media, mobile devices, SD cards, and other removable media. It also disables wireless connections through Bluetooth, infrared, and WiFi, and blocks the use of scanners, printers, and cameras to prevent data theft. The solution offers granular control over device permissions, allowing administrators to set full access, read-only, or no access policies. AccessPatrol's Access Code Generator provides temporary, time-limited access to blocked devices, ensuring a balance between security and productivity. The solution works on remote computers even without an internet connection and supports offsite management to extend security policies to devices outside the corporate network. It integrates with Active Directory for importing and syncing organizational units and supports SQL Server for enterprise scalability.
