DeviceWall is designed to ensure the highest levels of security for company PCs, whether in the office, at home or on-site with customers. As such, DeviceWall applies a consistent security policy both when connected to the corporate network and offline.

However, there will inevitably be a small number of occasions where a user legitimately requires a change to their current security settings. And for many security solutions, that’s a major problem. Especially if the user is offline and can’t connect to the Control Center.

Thankfully, DeviceWall provides the flexibility to quickly react to exceptions where a user may legitimately require access to a normally restricted device:

Online Users

For users connected to the network, the administrator simply updates the policy for the affected user, granting temporary access to the specified class of device. This updated policy can be pushed to the PC in question instantly.

Offline Users

There will inevitably be times where an off-site employee, with no access to the network, needs access to a blocked device. In these instances, DeviceWall has a special mechanism to permit temporary access to a specified device type until they end their current Windows session.

The combination of an effective security mechanism plus the capability to handle one-time exceptions means that DeviceWall is the ideal solutions looking to protect the integrity of the network with affecting business productivity.

The process of granting temporary permissions creates an audit log entry which records the person to whom one-time privileges were given, what type of device was unblocked and why. The audit log is time-stamped and maintained for subsequent review.
