Question

Viewing copied data from and to USB device

Our company is at the point of buying some Fortinet security modules/hardware.

One of our questions next to the obvious functionalities of Fortinet is the monitoring of data copied from and to an USB device.

Is there a Forti module which could fill that gap?

 

For example, we would like to know where our Company data goes. If an employee is coping a lot of data to external devices we would like to be able to read a logging back that he took this data.

 

As we dont have the software/modules yet I cant tell if we could monitor/log this data or which software/module could do that so we can add it to our order.

 

If anyone could help us out, it would be much appreciated!

the only product that comes to mind is the FortiClient, as that is the only one installed on a workstation and able to do something with USB usage.

 

it only seems to be able to control access at the moment, not actually log what happens with the data on / from it.

i would contact your local Fortinet sales team to inquire further and perhaps start a request for enhancement (RFE).
