Dan,
Do you know of any other similar device(s) with
same/similar functionality. Anything in freeware or
shareware? It should have at a minimum data logging,
alerting and control by ACL?
I believe the product should not have agents to be
installed on a user's desktop, because then the user
with admin privilege can stop the agent service!

Have you seen the GFI product which does this?

to stop the ipod
pirates :)

Thumb drives and ensuring that they do not

classified systems. Do any of you already have a
policy in place?
Additionally, is there a simple way of removing the
drivers from a
WinXP or 2000 environment so that these types of
devices can not be
installed via plug and play? I have played around
with the idea of
shutting down USB ports but there are just too may
other things (mice,
keyboards, cac readers) that use them. If there
was a way to know
(event viewer perhaps) or other means when one was
attached, it would
also help.
