LeakStopp - Stop USB intrusion

LeakStopp is a USB protection tool that allows organizations to protect against data leakage from any portable or fixed devices. 

Your organization's data is at risk from leakage if:- 

• USB ports are exposed to threats (for example on trains, planes and in cafés)
• Internally, employees can use USB ports to remove sensitive corporate data
• Contractors who have access to machines within the organization

If you think data leakage isn’t as easy in the movies, think again. Data can be copied from a hard disk to a USB key in seconds in many situations. LeakStopp is a tool designed to protect unauthorised USB sticks/devices from accessing a protected machine, thus preventing the possibility of sensitive data being copied or transferred from the device.

Why Use LeakStopp

From the team behind BackStopp comes LeakStopp. BackStopp protects your data in the event of a device being lost or stolen. LeakStopp protects against data leakage at any time. 

USB ports can act as an open door, presenting a huge security hole to any organization. Utilizing LeakStopp you can close this hole, allowing only authorised USB keys access to the USB ports on any device. 

Many of us think of data protection as something that needs to be done within a firewall or through encryption, but many don’t consider the role that the user of a device has in the security of the data stored on it. 

Every time a machine is used, it is open to threats. Imagine sitting on a train, you or your employee is reading a report, their laptop is switched on, the USB ports are facing away. The person sitting opposite has these ports available to them. What would happen if a USB key was plugged in? Can the data be captured? Yes.

Any organization should consider that whenever staff are on the road, key data is at risk from far more than the laptop being lost or stolen. The USB ports provide an obvious back door, and one that a user will not necessarily realise has been compromised. So with LeakStopp, you can be sure that access to your machine via the USB ports is not possible.
