Case Study: SAIC Secures Open Device Ports with DeviceLock

SAIC - Customer Case Study

SAIC, a top information technology and systems integration contractor serving government, healthcare, and business customers, needed a way to manage the security risk posed by open floppy disk and CD-ROM device ports on employee workstations. The team wanted stronger control over removable media without resorting to a drastic BIOS lockdown or spending time adjusting permissions on hundreds of PCs individually.

SAIC chose DeviceLock DLP from DeviceLock for its ease of implementation and centralized administration. The solution let a system administrator manage device access from one location, making it simple to open or lock ports as needed for users. Installation was easy, and SAIC reported being satisfied with the results, though no specific quantitative impact was provided.
