Key features

SafeGuard Configuration Protection, a module of the SafeGuard Enterprise data security solution, stops data leakage through endpoints, ports and removable media.

To protect your valuable information from loss—accidental or malicious—your security solution must cover removable storage devices, physical and wireless interfaces, and users. SafeGuard Configuration Protection controls and secures endpoints and devices over every interface, and guarantees flexible and easy-to-use information leakage prevention.

  • Detect and restrict use of connected devices by type, model or even specific serial number
  • Enable administrators to block all storage devices completely
  • Visualize who is connected to corporate endpoints with SafeGuard PortAuditor
  • Enforce centralized data security policies that meet business needs
