I was wondering if there was a way to disable storage devices usb ports. If somebody uses usb to boot a linux distro, he could bypass the security policy. The problem is that you cant disable usb from the bios if you need that ports (printers, webcam,etc). Is there any method to prevent this? thanks On Fri, 19 Nov 2004 23:14:43 -0000, Gray, Steve <sgray@wakefield.gov.uk> wrote:
Hi, This is something we are very interested in at the moment. I have found some software, from a firm called Generix, that looks as though it will control the use but it is difficult to get managers to pay for it. They seem to understand risks from floppy disks and CD's, but not from USB devices. Any practical policy guidelines to limit risks would be welcome.
