Endpoint Security



Endpoint Security is a part of eScan’s Protection feature. This module protects your computer or Endpoints from data thefts and security threats through USB or FireWire® based portable devices. It comes with an Application control feature, which helps you block unwanted applications from running on your computer. In addition, this feature provides you with a comprehensive reporting feature that helps you determine which applications and portable devices are allowed or blocked by eScan.

This page provides you with information regarding the status of the module and options for configuring it.

  • Start / Stop: It enables you to enable or disable Endpoint Security module. Click the appropriate option.

There are two tabs – Application Control and USB Control, which are as follows:

1. Application Control

This tab helps you control the execution of programs on the computer. All the controls on this tab are disabled by default.

You can configure the following settings.

  • Enable Application Control: You should select this check box if you need to enable the Application Control feature of the Endpoint Security module.
  • Enter Application to Block: It indicates the name of the application you want to block from execution. Type the full name of the application to be blocked.
  • List of Blocked Applications: This list contains blocked executables of applications that are predefined by MicroWorld. Each of the applications listed in the predefined categories are blocked by default. In addition, you can also add executables that you need to block only to the Custom Group category. If you want, you can unblock the predefined application by clicking the UnBlock link. The predefined categories include computer games, instant messengers, music & video players, and P2P applications.

2. USB Control The Endpoint Security feature of eScan protects your computer from unauthorized portable storage devices prompting you for the password whenever you plug in such devices. The devices are also scanned immediately when connected to prevent any infected files running and infecting the computer.

You can configure the following settings:

  • Enable USB Control: [Default] You should select this check box if you need to monitor all the USB storages devices connected to your computer. This will enable all the options on this tab.
  • Settings: This section helps you customize the settings for controlling access to USB storage devices.
  • Block USB Ports: Select this check box if you want to block all the USB ports.
  • Ask for Password: Select this check box, if you want eScan to prompt for a password whenever a USB storage device is connected to the computer. You have to type the correct password to access USB storage device. It is recommended that you always keep this check box selected.
  • Use eScan Administrator: This option is available only when you select the Ask for Password check box. Click this option if you want to assign eScan Administrator password for accessing USB storage device.
  • Use Other Password: This option is available only when you select the Ask for Password check box. Click this option if you want assign a unique password for accessing USB storage device.
  • Do Virus Scan: [Default] When you select this check box, the Endpoint Security module runs a virus scan if the USB storage device is activated. It is recommended that you always keep this check box selected.
  • Disable AutoPlay: [Default] When you select this check box, eScan disables the automatic execution of any program stored on a USB storage device when you connect the device.
  • Read Only USB: Select this check box, if you want to allow access of the USB device in read-only mode.
  • Record Files Copied To USB: Select this check box, if you want eScan to create a record of the files copied from the system to USB drive.
  • Whitelist: eScan provides a greater level of endpoint security by prompting you for a password whenever you connect a USB drive. To disable password protection for a specific device, you can add it along with its serial number to the whitelist. The next time you connect the device it will not ask for a password but will directly display the files or folders stored on the device. This section displays the serial number and device name of each of the whitelisted devices in a list. You can add devices to this list by clicking on the Add button. The Whitelist section displays the following button.
  • Scan Whitelisted USB Devices: By default, eScan does not scan whitelisted USB devices. You should select this option, if you want eScan to scan USB devices that have been added to the whitelist.
  • You can click on the Add button to enter the Serial number (unique for each USB device ) and Device Name of the USB device to be whitelisted. The Serial Number and the Device Name details are shown in Endpoint security module in eScan Protection Center under the same sub-section. You need to insert the USB device on the eScan server and copy the details onto the eScan web console settings.
