Assuming you are working in a corporate environment I like Mark Teicher's
Securewave recommendation. Cisco's Security Agent is another centrally
managed alternative. A few years ago Cisco purchased Okena which had a
product called Stormwatch. That product is now CSA (Cisco Security Agent).
Both Securewave and Cisco Security Agent are referred to as 2nd generation
desktop security solutions and offer the ability to prevent/allow data
transfer for any I/O device.

we are doing the same for the time being but now system come with USB

this USB port to use only USB mouse?
Is there a tool or someway to detect all systems on the domain where
USB port is open? <As a cross-check and to be double sure>
Best regards,

Why not just disable the USB in bios and set a password on the bios

Works for me all the time.

Martin,
Not sure of your specific requirements, but
there's a software title by the name of DeviceLock that works well.
It works well with all devices. The only drawback
is that if the user is a member of the Local Admin group, they
can alter the settings.

Just some more thoughts. Take Care !

Hi list,
Does anyone knows a way to disable USB mass
storage device in Win
XP? I need to disable using devices such as USB
flash drive, card
readers, etc.
