Sophos Configuration Protection In Encryption

Storage

• Removable storage devices (e.g USB flash drives, PC Card readers, and external hard disk drives)
• Optical media drives (CD-ROM/DVD/Blu-ray drives)
• Floppy disk drives
• Secure removable storage devices (e.g. SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise, SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise FIPS Edition, and IronKey Enterprise Basic Edition USB flash drives with hardware encryption)

Using the secure removable storage category, you can easily allow the use of supported secure removable storage devices while blocking other removable storage devices.

Network

• Modems
• Wireless (Wi-Fi interfaces, 802.11 standard)

For network interfaces, block bridged mode is supported. This significantly reduces the risk of network bridging between a corporate network and a non-corporate network.

Short Range

• Bluetooth interfaces
• Infrared (IrDA infrared interfaces)

Alternatively, if you require either a standalone device control agent, or features not offered by Sophos Endpoint Protection, refer to the Safend Standalone Port Protector product on which the Sophos Configuration Protection agent was based.
