Network Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### ""AccessPatrol Survey"" October 6, 2024 5.0 AccessPatrol has thoroughly shaped the security of our data and computer systems by providing a powerful toolkit to proactively manage all security threats associated with USB devices via access controls, activities tracking, data encryption, file transfer control, real-time alerts, among others. Pros We managed to identify and control all key areas and employees behaviours that led to security breaches on our company's computers and data. We have whitelisted specific devices to connect to our computer denying access any unauthorized device. Another crucial area we are counting success is in setting permissions for specific users, devices and departments. This flexibility means a lot when it comes to managing access since we have senior staffs spread across multiple departments and we need to allow them special permissions to access and transfer files. Additionally, we can set "Read-Only" access to specific USB devices in situations where we want to prevent data transfer to external spaces. Cons AccessPatrol is a "For Keep" software. It enormously delivers in the entire end-point security spectrum. Review Source Response from CurrentWare October 17, 2024 Thank you for your review, Franklin!
