What is Marshal Endpoint Security? |
 |
Marshal Endpoint is a software solution designed to give organisations control over unauthorised use of specific portable devices based upon user profiles. |
|
|
Which devices does Marshal Endpoint support? |
|
Marshal Endpoint can actively manage a wide range of devices such as PDAs, iPods and other music players, USB sticks, flash drives and external storage devices (including CD writers, Zip drives and external hard drives).
Marshal Endpoint also manages internal diskette and optical (CD and DVD) drives as well as built-in wireless connectors such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Infra-red ports. |
|
|
Which platforms does Marshal Endpoint support? |
|
Marshal Endpoint works with Windows NT4, 2000, XP and 2003.
**Vista and 64bit Windows not currently supported. See DeviceLock if you need this support**
Marshal Endpoint does not currently support earlier versions of Windows or non-Windows operating environments. Marshal Endpoint supports both Active Directory and NT Domains. |
|
|
How does Marshal Endpoint work? |
|
Through a small client agent deployed via a central management console to the target PC, Marshal Endpoint blocks or allows the connection of specific device types according the (currently logged-in) user’s privileges.
Thanks to the client agent, Marshal Endpoint provides a consistent level of security, regardless of whether the PC is connected to the corporate or off-site. |
|
|
Can Marshal Endpoint be remotely deployed? |
|
Yes. Administrators can perform this procedure directly from the Control Center. |
|
|
Can I find out / report on what my users have been doing? |
|
Absolutely.
Full audit logs are available out of the box. |
|
|
Do IT Administrators need to manually connect to each computer in the network to make changes to permissions? |
|
No. Marshal Endpoint’s Policy Control Center technology enables this procedure to be achieved centrally, massively simplifying the deployment and management processes. |
|
|
Can users disable Marshal Endpoint once a permission has been set? |
|
No. Only authorised Marshal Endpoint administrators have the authority to control the permissions according to their network set-up and configuration. |
|
|
Can local users stop the Marshal Endpoint service? |
|
No. Only authorised administrators with the correct permissions and passwords can stop the Marshal Endpoint service on a target PC.
Even users with ‘local admin’ rights cannot stop the service without authorisation. |
|
|
Does Marshal Endpoint manage users or PCs? |
|
Marshal Endpoint enables administrators to set permissions to access various classes of portable media device by users or groups of users.
The actual computer upon which the client is installed will allow permitted users to access permitted devices but will block any activity by unauthorised users. |
|
|
Can Marshal Endpoint protect users computers who are offline and not on the network? |
|
Yes. The security policy applied to a user is valid regardless of whether the PC is connected to the network or not. |
|
|
Can Marshal Endpoint enable a policy to be updated quickly if a legitimate need arises? |
|
Yes. An updated policy can be instantly pushed to a PC in the instance of a normally-restricted user needing legitimate access to a certain device.
Where the PC is not connected to the network (i.e it is ‘offline’), Marshal Endpoint has the capability to grant one time access to a specific class of device until the end of the current Windows session. |
|
|
Can I run Marshal Endpoint on my PC at home? |
|
Sorry, no. Marshal Endpoint is designed for businesses or other organisations with multiple users on a network. It is not designed for home use. |
|
|
Can Marshal Endpoint encrypt/decrypt files on USB devices? |
|
Yes. All data copied to / from authorised devices can be encrypted automatically using strong 256 bit encryption. |
|
|
Does Marshal Endpoint work with Microsoft Active Directory? |
|
Yes. Marshal Endpoint integrates with Active Directory to enable the Access Control List to be managed as well as to allow computers users and user groups to be browsed for deployment of the client service. However, Active Directory is not a required component. |
|
|
How are real-time access rights and unattended policy updates made? |
|
Marshal Endpoint uses MS IIS to automatically update the client service when a policy update is made by the administrator. |
|
|
Can Marshal Endpoint be configured to identify and allow the connection of a particular device, but block all others? |
|
Yes. For example, Marshal Endpoint administrators can customise the policy file to recognise and allow a particular brand and model of USB stick, while still blocking all other USB flash memory. |
