USB CopyNotify! (£67.99, monitors 10 PCs) plugs the data leak that takes place in most offices due to unauthorised usage of USB devices, such as phones, cameras and MP3 players. Flash drives are a particular threat because they are so small that they are easily carried into the office, plugged into a computer and used to copy confidential data without detection, thus making established data security measures vulnerable. While there is lots of software that takes care of data security and theft of confidential data, these products are probably too complicated and bloated for small companies with limited IT staff. USB CopyNotify! is simple to install and manage and doesn’t require network security policies, access and control policies, active directories or domain controllers. In other words, it’s aimed at the small-business user who is data security conscious but doesn’t have the time, money or expertise for sophisticated network management and control.
