What Is SafeConsole Central USB Management?

SafeConsole enforces full USB management control over an organization’s SafeXs secure  flash drives. With SafeConsole you can enable specific extended SafeXs features, configure password policies, remotely reset passwords, activate audit for compliance and much more. The SafeConsole server software is accessed through a standard Web browser and can optionally reflect the corporate directory or organizational unit structure. Each managed SafeXs securely connects over the Web to the SafeConsole server for configuration updates set to its specific assigned group.

SafeConsole Technical Overview

SafeConsole is a Web-based application server software bundle that gives administrators management privileges over SafeXs drives. Administrators can use SafeConsole to manage and apply custom policies to all of an organization’s SafeXs devices over the Internet.

How Can SafeConsole Be Deployed?

SafeXs devices and SafeConsole can be deployed flexibly. Start the rollout with a SafeXs device or SafeConsole; either way, you gain complete control when the full solution is in place. The deployment process of the full SafeXs/SafeConsole solution is finished when each unique SafeXs drive is registered to a specific user on the SafeConsole server.

1. User Accounts Authenticate to the SafeConsole Server

User accounts are connected to the SafeConsole server by setting a SafeXs drive-specific registry flag and deploying a certificate. This can be accomplished with a GPO in a larger organization.

2. Self-Service SafeXs Device Deployment

Each user claims ownership of his or her new SafeXs device by inserting the device into a computer, at which point the registry flag is first identified. This one-click procedure links the unique asset number embedded in each SafeXs drive to the specific user (in the reflected corporate directory, when available). No preregistration of devices or users is needed; the deployment is a fully automatic and compliant process.

3. SafeXs Devices Under Management Control – Ready to Use

The configurations set in SafeConsole for a specific user group are applied automatically to the group’s SafeXs devices. Expired user accounts or insufficient settings and passwords are made to align with the selected settings. The configurations can be continuously updated inside and outside the corporate network, and ownership can change during multiple device life cycles.

Easy-to-Use Administrator Interface

Administrators use a Web-based interface in a standard browser to create and assign SafeXs device configurations. Functionality in SafeConsole is made available based on staff roles created in the organization’s active directory or stored in an XML file.

Secure Delivery and Installation

SafeConsole offers rapid deployment with an all-in-one installation process that can serve more than 100,000 Safestick drives. No extra licenses for databases or certificate management are needed with SafeConsole, and server requirements are minimal (2GB RAM, Windows or Linux). Reflecting an existing directory service within SafeConsole is optional.

SafeConsole Setup and Privacy

During the straightforward SafeConsole local server installation, the organization enters or generates its key (the private digital certificate). This unique key locks SafeConsole completely to the organization and enables authenticated management for administrators using trusted machines. This procedure guarantees safety for the organization and the managed SafeXs drives, as all communications are encrypted. The SafeConsole server software is available as a signed download to enable rapid deployments and even test installations. Setup instructions and a detailed manual are supplied with the installation files.
