ll into the wrong hands through
loss or theft.
In a survey conducted by McAfee, Inc. more than half of respondents (some 55 percent) said they use a
portable device to take confidential documents out of their business every week.

How do you know who is
storing what on which type of device? And even if they have permission to use the data, how can you be sure
they are keeping it secure?
Stem the rising costs of exposure
Data loss is one of the most widespread, serious, and costly security problems facing companies
today. In fact, more than 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies have fallen victim to accidental or
malicious data loss. And the costs are staggering. In 2007, the average cost to companies resulting
from data breaches was $6.3 million.

Monitor and control data copied to portable devices and media
McAfee
�
Device Control protects critical data from leaving your company through removable
media, such as USB drives, iPods, Bluetooth devices, recordable CDs and DVDs. It gives you the
tools to monitor and control data transfers from all desktops and laptopsregardless of where
users and confidential data go, even when they are not connected to the corporate network.
Device Control provides extremely granular control over your sensitive data. Specify which devices
can and cannot be used. Define what data can and cannot be copied onto allowed devices. And
restrict users from copying data from specific locations, such as a file server that stores propriety
information, and from certain applications, such as an accounting program that generates
confidential reports.
Automatically enforce detailed device and data policies
Gaining centralized control over your information assets is easy. Use McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
�

(ePO ) to distribute the McAfee Device Control agent to your managed desktops and laptops. Then
specify in detail which content can and cannot be copied to which removable storage devices.
Device Control does the rest, automatically monitoring usage and blocking any attempts to use
devices or transfer data in violation of the policies you have set, even when data is modified,
copied, pasted, compressed, or encrypted. Likewise, Device Control allows legitimate business
activities to proceed without disruption.
Demonstrate regulatory compliance at will
McAfee Device Control gives you complete visibility and control over the transfer of confidential
information to removable storage devices and media. Integration with ePO allows you to easily collect
critical usage data, such as device, time stamp, and data evidence. A click of the mouse enables real-
time event monitoring and detailed forensics report generation to prove to auditors, board members,
and other stakeholders that internal and regulatory compliance measures are in place.
