What Is Government Sanctuary Software?

Sanctuary software provides government security access to removable storage devices.

The United States government has many safeguards in place regarding the country's information. One such safeguard is Sanctuary Software which provides security control of removable storage devices, universal serial bus (USB) security and port security protection.

Identification

Sanctuary Software is a device control system providing policy-based enforcement of removable storage device use to prevent data leaks. It accomplishes this by encrypting removable media, prevents malware issues and data theft, allows regulatory compliance and controls any devices that connect via USB ports, Wi-Fi and other data connection sources.

Benefits

Sanctuary allows only authorized users and devices to connect to laptops, PCs or a network, ensuring data leaks do not occur. This security also protects the data and network systems.

Function

System administrators set up user lists, device lists which consist of removable data sources and network links, PCs and laptop lists. Safety policies can be created for users and groups, as well as individual removable data sources and networks. Policies may establish when, and to which machine, a device may connect. The software also allows system administrators to block certain machines or devices.
