LabView / DSC / FieldPoint with Symantec Endpoint Encryption Device Control

[MillerMech]

I am developing a LabView DSC based control program to communicate with multiple FieldPoint modules (cFP2200/cFP1808) for a client. Their IT department has implemented Symantec Endpoint Encryption Device Control ( http://www.symantec.com/endpoint-encryption-device-control ) and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this software?

From what I have read and had explained to me, it is much more than an antivirus program. It operates at a very low level within Windows and restricts reading/writing to external devices, USB sticks, network shares, etc. It can also monitor / restrict network traffic and WiFi access.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi MillerMech,

I believe it will cause some errors to be thrown due to its restrictive nature. Symantec has a discussion forum which will most likely be more helpful:

Perhaps you could add a second ethernet card to the pc and make this a new network, with only a few devices. Use fixed ip addresses like 192.168.0.xxx. Make the address range different than the corporate lan. Then make symantec ignore this network.
