Overview:
In May 2006, while evaluating various device control solutions, SecureWave provided Gabanski and the IT staff all the evidence they needed to justify a purchase. During an on-site visit, the SecureWave engineer used the company’s Device Scanner utility on Lake Forest’s systems. Device Scanner is a free utility that reveals every device currently connected to a network as well as every device that has ever been connected. Gabanski was shocked at the results of the scan.

Shortly after witnessing the results produced by Device Scanner, Lake Forest’s IT department purchased SecureWave’s Sanctuary endpoint security software for all of its 300 workstations. Sanctuary enables Lake Forest’s IT department to create a whitelist of allowed media, denying all other devices by default. Sanctuary also allows administrators to assign granular permissions. For example, policies can be enforced by device class, specific device/media to user(s)/user group(s) or to a specific computer, time constraints, encryption, volume of data transferred and much more.
