Question:

USB port and Internet access are blocked in my company. Why do we still need Curtain e-locker?

 
 
Answer:Yes, blocking USB port and Internet access can reduce the risk of data leakage. However, there are so many ways for sending information out. For example:
  • Print
  • Print-screen or Capture-screen software
  • Copy and Paste
  • Email
  • Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (using mobile phone as hotspot)
  • Skype, Whatsapp, WeChat
  • and more...

Some companies are trying to block all channels to prevent data leakage. However, it is difficult for system administrators to setup and maintain so many controls. Moreover, it is inconvenient for end-users to work without email, Internet, Skype, and USB nowadays.

Curtain e-locker does not affect users' normal operations, while security is maintained. Curtain e-locker makes a good balance between convenience and security.
