Device Security Challenges
Risks from uncontrolled devices
USB Data Theft
Employees copy sensitive files to personal USB drives. Quick, easy, untraceable data exfiltration method favored by insiders.
Malware Introduction
USB drives spread malware, ransomware, viruses. BadUSB attacks exploit firmware vulnerabilities in USB controllers.
Lost or Stolen Devices
Unencrypted USB drives with sensitive data lost or stolen. No way to remotely wipe, revoke access, or track.
BYOD Device Risks
Personal smartphones, tablets connect to corporate computers. Data synced to personal cloud storage, bypassing DLP.
TRIAS Device Control
Complete device security and management
Device Whitelisting
Approve specific devices by serial number, vendor ID, device ID. Block all unauthorized hardware automatically.
Automatic Encryption
Transparently encrypt all data written to USB devices. Decryption only on authorized computers—prevent data access if stolen.
Read-Only Mode
Allow USB devices for file access but block writes. Prevent data copying while enabling legitimate device use.
Device Tracking
Complete audit trail of device connections. Who connected what device, when, which files copied, to where.
Controlled Device Types
Comprehensive hardware coverage
USB Storage
USB flash drives, external hard drives, thumb drives, USB-C storage devices.
Mobile Devices
Smartphones, tablets, iPads, iPhones connected via USB or MTP protocol.
Optical Media
CD/DVD burners, Blu-ray writers, optical drives for data burning.
Network Adapters
USB WiFi adapters, Ethernet dongles, cellular modems, unauthorized network hardware.
Cameras & Imaging
Webcams, digital cameras, scanners, imaging devices connected to endpoints.
Bluetooth Devices
Bluetooth adapters, wireless keyboards, mice, headsets, file transfer devices.
Device Control Features
Temporary Access
Grant time-limited device access. Automatically revoke permissions after deadline—ideal for contractors, visitors.
File Type Filtering
Allow only specific file types on USB. Block executables, scripts, sensitive documents based on extension or content.
Transfer Limits
Limit data volume copied to devices. Set daily/weekly transfer quotas, prevent mass data exfiltration.
Approval Workflows
Require manager approval for device usage. Automated request/approve workflows with justification tracking.
Shadow IT Detection
Detect unauthorized devices attempting connection. Alert security teams, log attempts, auto-block.
Forensic Evidence
Capture file hashes, metadata, thumbnails of copied files. Forensic-quality evidence for investigations.
Device Control Use Cases
Insider Threat Prevention
Prevent departing employees from copying sensitive data to USB drives. Detect and block mass file transfers.
Contractor & Visitor Security
Grant temporary USB access to external workers. Automatic encryption, time-limited access, full audit trail.
Healthcare Device Management
Control medical device connections to computers with PHI. Ensure HIPAA compliance for device data transfers.
Industrial Security
Prevent unauthorized USB devices on SCADA systems. Block malware introduction via removable media.
