Machinery Manufacturing Company Implements Netwrix Endpoint Protector for Better Data Security and GDPR Compliance

Liebherr Iberica implemented Endpoint Protector to manage insider threats so they avoid any malicious activity from taking place, to add an extra layer of security, and to be compliant with regulations such as GDPR.

• Monitoring and Controlling USB and Peripheral Ports: Liebherr Iberica implemented the Device Control module from Endpoint Protector to monitor and control USB and peripheral ports. This solution prevents unauthorized data transfers and the use of unauthorized devices, providing an additional layer of security.
• Remote Access Control with Offline Temporary Password (OTP): Liebherr Iberica finds it crucial to have remote control over external devices, especially for employees working outside regular hours or without network access. They rely on the Offline Temporary Password (OTP) functionality, which grants temporary access rights and lifts restrictions for specific devices, users, or computers, even in remote scenarios.
• Master Password Management for Enhanced Security: Endpoint Protector allows Liebherr Iberica to change the Master Password after each use to ensure ongoing security. The updated password is then shared with team leaders, who decide whether to distribute it to employees working after hours or those traveling. This ensures only authorized personnel can access restricted devices.
• Granular Device Control for Specific USB Permissions: Liebherr Iberica uses Device Control to create specific allowed devices for each user. For example, each mechanic engineer is provided with a specific USB device registered in Endpoint Protector, ensuring that only these authorized devices can be used, maintaining tight control over data access.
• Positive User Experience and Support: Liebherr Iberica rated Endpoint Protector highly for its ease of installation, intuitive interface, and the granularity of features. They also praised the support team and regular updates, which ensured efficient assistance whenever needed.
