The Threat:

The rise in cyber attacks covered
in recent front-story news has forced corporate executives and
government officials to realize the potential threat caused by
common USB thumb drives. In fact, US Defense officials at the
Pentagon recently banned the use of external computer flash drives
at all government locations around the world.

The Solution:
|
|
ForeScout is currently working with the Department of Defense (DoD)
to identify and disable the use of thumb drives and prevent
unauthorized devices from gaining access to their network.

This one-hour discussion presented by ForeScout's Federal security
team will include case studies on how Department of Defense agencies
