Removable Media Security

Every file from a USB drive rebuilt before it is used.

USB drives and vendor laptops still carry files into networks that email and web filters never see. klearis rebuilds them with Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) before they are used, even offline.

The problem

Threats walk in on USB drives, vendor laptops and update packages.

OFFLINERemovable media reaches networks that email and web filters never see.
VENDORSFiles arrive from vendor systems whose security you do not control.

A real example

A USB drive from a trusted vendor.

A field engineer brings a configuration file on a USB drive for a system that is not connected to the internet.

01The drive was last used on a laptop outside your network.
02The file looks familiar and opens in the usual tool.
03It carries code that runs on the isolated system.
WHAT HAPPENS TO IT
ANTIVIRUSIsolated systems often run outdated signatures, so new threats go unseen.
SANDBOXThere is rarely a sandbox on an isolated network, so nothing analyzes the file.
KLEARISThe file is rebuilt on the desktop client before it is used. Only clean content reaches the system.

How klearis addresses it

Clean before it enters.

Files from removable media are rebuilt before they are used on the network.
