Content Inspection Agent

The Code Green Networks Content Inspection Agent (CI Agent) enables organization to protect data and safeguard intellectual property at the endpoint – both on and off the network. Installed on each user's computer across organization, the CI Agent prevents the transfer of files to or from unauthorized portable devices, automatically encrypts data copied to approved devices, and provides complete visibility of device and file access.

Protect Your Data and Intellectual Property at the Endpoint

With the increased popularity of small data storage devices such as USB flash drives, CD/DVD ROMs, MP3 players and PDAs, it is extremely easy today for end users to accidentally or maliciously move confidential data out of the network without the organization’s knowledge.

Whether it’s an opportunist taking documents to a competitor or a well-meaning employee copying an infected file to the network, leaving portable device use unchecked is an invitation to disaster. The CI Agent prevents the unwanted transfer of data to or from portable devices by automatically enforcing security policies based on a user’s legitimate need to access specific device types. User access can be blocked, limited to read-only or left unrestricted according to the individual’s security privileges and device type in use.

Nearly two-thirds of all USB drives are lost by their owners. Without the right protection, what’s to stop that data from ending up in the wrong hands? The CI Agent can automatically encrypt all data copied to authorized storage devices such as USB flash drives. Using the latest Blowfish and AES 256-bit ciphers, the CI Agent ensures that even if data is lost in transit, it won’t result in a costly and embarrassing security breach.

You can’t manage security if you can’t see what’s being connected to the network, what files are being accessed and how the security policy is being applied. The CI Agent provides complete visibility of all user and administrator actions, recording everything from individual device connections to the most popular files read from or copied to portable devices. Content awareness ensures that you know the type of information being accessed or copied as well as the file name and type. A full audit trail of administrator actions completes the range of forensics available.

Regardless of whether the device is connected locally or wirelessly, if the PC is on the corporate network or offline, the CI Agent constantly manages device connections to ensure the integrity of your network is not compromised. Through its combination of strong security and flexible management capabilities, the CI Agent prevents both malicious and accidental security breaches, keeping data safe, both on and off the network.

What's in the CI Agent?

Single Screen Administration	All administration, including creating, modifying and deploying security policies can be done in the CI Agent's single-screen Policy Control Center.
Content Awareness	Scans content to determine true file type for use in both policies and reporting.
One-Click Deployment	Client agents can be deployed and updated across Active Directory and NT domains without third-party software distribution tools.
Advanced Device Granularity	The CI Agent can manage both entire device classes as well as specific devices – making it easy to create white lists of corporate approved devices.
User Centric Policies	In addition to devices and device classes, policies can be specified and reporting/analysis conducted for specific users and groups of users.
Total Visibility	The CI Agent automatically records device connections, file accesses and policy changes. These forensics can be viewed directly from the main Control Center in tabular or in graphical form, or can be exported into CSV format.
Intuitive Processes & Wizards	Wizards enable you to easily create and deploy security policies faster than ever. Intuitive processes make changing permissions or updating policies an easy task for any authorized user without the need for special training.
Super-Strength Encryption	256-bit AES and Blowfish ciphers are the strongest available, ensuring that any data carried offsite is protected against misuse by unauthorized third parties. Global or personal keys give maximum flexibility for security management.
User Education	The CI Agent's configurable dialogs help organizations ensure that employees are informed about security policies, reducing help desk calls and improving user acceptance.
