Why use LeakStopp?

From the team behind BackStopp comes LeakStopp. BackStopp protects your data in the event of a device being lost or stolen. LeakStopp protects against data leakage at any time.

USB ports can act as an open door, presenting a huge security hole to any organisation. Utilising LeakStopp you can close this hole, allowing only authorised USB keys access to the USB ports on any device.

Many of us think of data protection as something that needs to be done within a firewall or through encryption, but many don’t consider the role that the user of a device has in the security of the data stored on it.

Every time a machine is used, it is open to threats. Imagine sitting on a train, you or your employee is reading a report, their laptop is switched on, the USB ports are facing away. The person sitting opposite has these ports available to them. What would happen if a USB key was plugged in? Can the data be captured? Yes.

Any organisation should consider that whenever staff are on the road, key data is at risk from far more than the laptop being lost or stolen. The USB ports provide an obvious back door, and one that a user will not necessarily realise has been compromised. So with LeakStopp, you can be sure that access to your machine via the USB ports is not possible.
