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

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.
