Most new age businesses depend a lot on technology for the efficient running of their operations. Security has found a new meaning for these traditional businesses. With increasing risks to networks from external threats like hackers, spyware, malware as well internal ones like their own employees, it is imperative that businesses assess such risks and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the networks as well as that of data.
Endpoint Security Tool allows you to run a simple online scan to determine which removable devices like USB sticks, CDs, floppies, smart phones, MP3 players, handhelds, iPods or digital cameras have been plugged in to the corporate network. It also assesses the risk from each device. In conclusion, it tells you the overall risk category that your business is placed in. Theft of data can be major headache apart from the lawsuits and other issues.
To run the scan, go to Endpoint Scan. Make sure you have Active X enabled in Firefox or other browsers. The scan is configured for Internet Explorer by default. It takes about 30 seconds for the results but that depends on the speed of your pipe (internet connection). Have you IP address handy before starting the scan.
