1.1 The Need
Enterprise networks are currently characterized by a proliferation of easily accessible computer
ports, such as USB, FireWire and PCMCIA. In addition, a variety of communication adapters
(such as Bluetooth, IrDA and WiFi) and device types (such as storage devices, printers, digital
cameras, smart phones and PDAs) all enable effortless access to endpoints using these ports and
devices.
These devices enable optimal accessibility and productivity, but they leave endpoints wide open
to infiltration. With the amount of corporate data residing on endpoints estimated at over 60%,
endpoints may be the most valuable, and vulnerable, part of the enterprise network.
At this moment dozens of devices may be connected to your network. Consider the following
questions:
Do you know what is connected?
Can you identify these devices?
Are they permitted or are they trespassing into your company’s integrity?
Are you equipped to locate the security breach and identify the intruder?
1.2 The SafeGuard PortAuditor Solution
With SafeGuard PortAuditor you can immediately begin capturing critical data that provides
you with instant answers to the 'who and what' regarding USB, FireWire and PCMCIA ports in
your organization. It also helps you recognize which WiFi networks your endpoints have
connected to.
SafeGuard PortAuditor is a non-intrusive, clientless software solution that captures the critical
data that you need from each port. SafeGuard PortAuditor creates reports about devices
