Burning Devices Security

Burning devices are one of the major reasons that can cause to severe organization data loss and information theft. Using common Windows GPO (Group Policy Objects) or DLP (Data Loss Prevention) products will be able to eliminate Read or Write access to the burning devices. However, when approved file or documents needs to be burned, the burning device will need burn permissions to complete the burning action. In that case standard GPO or DLP tools will not be able to control which information is burned and once burning permissions are given any sensitive or protected data will be able to be burned and leak outside the organization. The above scenario is a common case in organizations that needs to provide burned information on CD/DVD/Blu-ray media.
