The following are the features of the CoSoSys endpoint protector software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This feature helps to prevent data theft and loss, lockdown, regulate, and keep an eye on USB and peripheral ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though they may appear to be innocent at first glance, external devices like flash drives, Bluetooth, and other portable USB devices are one of the leading sources of security events that can seriously impact any business. Damages can include the theft of private information or hefty fines resulting from law and regulation infractions. End users need to be aware of the dangers, and organizations need to have safeguards in place to stop data leaks and breaches from external devices. This centrally managed device control system enables complete control of the USB ports and attached storage devices by enabling fine-grained control over USB device permissions. It also enables endpoint protection against the transmission of USB malware, bad USB attacks, or viruses. In this way, it prevents unintentional or intentional data loss and transfers. Businesses can modify access rights for removable media connections and centralize user access management using Device Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The device control feature provides the following functionalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Utilize a straightforward web-based interface for remotely managing USBs and peripheral ports on various operating systems without slowing down the protected PCs\u2019 performance. For more detailed and comprehensive monitoring of USB devices and other portable devices on each operating system, activate the USB Device Control feature and easily set device control policies for Windows, macOS, and Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allowing USB access from afar while computers are offline and then reviewing detailed log data is a huge time saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This feature allows the Device Control software to instantly scan, identify, and categorize any external devices used by staff members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To maintain business operations, create device whitelists and blacklists, user, computer, and group policies, and departmental device restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The endpoint protector software is resistant to connectivity drops and geographic constraints, ensuring optimal performance and privacy. Additionally, by utilizing Content Aware Protection, one can easily enhance the endpoint\u2019s capabilities for total data loss protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The security already provided by Endpoint Protector Device Control is extended by Content Aware Protection, thereby lowering the danger of insider threats and data loss from malevolent, careless, and compromised users. Also, this function helps prevent data loss and provides constant endpoint protection by doing contextual scanning on Windows, macOS, and Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Content-aware protection utilizes content inspection and contextual data scanning to ensure the protection of sensitive information from unauthorized transmission and malicious exfiltration at different employee endpoints beyond the company\u2019s control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Endpoint Protector is the only data loss prevention solution to offer full feature parity across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. This is due to the multi-OS solution\u2019s zero-day compatibility with the most recent Windows and macOS releases. As a result, enterprises can satisfy their data compliance needs and safeguard against insider attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The content-aware data loss prevention feature provides the following functionalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through email, business messaging programs like Slack, browser uploads, USB devices, Bluetooth connections, and other methods, contextual scanning prevents sensitive data from being inadvertently exposed or deliberately exfiltrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the capabilities of cloud and network security products, Endpoint Protector expands your security policies. Policies are still in effect when staff are not present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applying policies to designated departure points, such as emails, business messaging apps, cloud service uploads, and removable storage devices across user groups, as well as providing zero-day support for the most recent OS releases, reduces the risks of data loss and leakage on Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To protect data in transit, it is important to manage and secure USB storage devices by including data-in-transition into the USB security policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to safeguard data being transmitted to portable USB storage from loss or theft, Enforced Encryption employs 256-bit AES encryption. By automatically encrypting sensitive data being transferred to authorized and trusted USB storage devices, the solution improves Device Control policies and eliminates the need for expensive hardware-based solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a USB storage device is first used, the Enforced Encryption application immediately mounts there, depending on the permission provided by\u00a0the Device Control policy. Once files are moved, the application immediately stores them on the storage device in a password-protected, encrypted folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the administrative panel for Endpoint Protector, security managers can control encrypted devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The enforced protection feature provides the following functionalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Businesses can protect sensitive data and accomplish statutory compliance with NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOX, and others with the help of enforced encryption, thereby avoiding fines and other penalties imposed by regulatory bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Administrators have the ability to communicate with users and reset forgotten or compromised passwords. By resetting the device, USBs can also be remotely erased, effectively erasing the client and all associated encrypted data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By being compatible with both Windows and macOS, Enforced Encryption avoids the limitations of OS-specific solutions like BitLocker and FileVault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this feature, organizations can easily take remote corrective action after scanning sensitive data stored on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eDiscovery finds sensitive material on an organization\u2019s endpoints and lets administrators encrypt or delete it. The company addresses both internal and external dangers, such as unauthorized staff storing sensitive data and intruders breaching network security to access company documents.\u00a0 Protecting sensitive data, including Credit Card Numbers, Personally Identifiable Information, Social Security Numbers, and employee records, is essential for organizations that handle sensitive data, including business records and Intellectual Property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Endpoint Protector eDiscovery enables businesses to comply with regulations such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR, among others, while preventing fines or additional penalties from regulatory bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The management panel in Endpoint Protector can trigger the eDiscovery module, eliminating the need for separate installation. For both Content Aware Protection (DLP for data in motion) and eDiscovery, a single endpoint agent is deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system prevents the scanning of certain files, such as photos and video files, by using whitelists according to file name and type. This cuts down on scan duration and resource usage. while Blacklists are based on file kinds, preset content, custom content (dictionaries), and file name, permitting IT Administrators to create restrictions depending on the type of sensitive material kept on users\u2019 workstations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t take much work to set up a scan with specific settings like timing, frequency, and target entities. A list of earlier scans is also available for lookup and reference purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to respond quickly in the event that non-compliant material is found, the eDiscovery section provides visibility into scans, the matched sensitive items, the exact location of the discovered data, and remediation actions, including data encryption and deleting data at rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eDiscovery from Endpoint Protector thoroughly protects Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. Also, administrators can perform a clean scan of all repositories or an incremental scan that starts where the previous scan ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To suit the needs of each business, Endpoint Protector offers excellent deployment flexibility. These deployment options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By giving customers access to the Endpoint Protector distant cloud network (powered by AWS), the software as a service (SaaS) approach enables reduced deployment complexity & expense. Businesses can now spend more time and money determining and reducing threats to sensitive data rather than creating and maintaining the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benefits of this deployment option include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
