Although the most common way of getting infected by a malware is through the internet, they can also be transmitted by storage devices, like USB flash drives. For example, if you work in an internet cafe and you want to prevent infected USB sticks from connected to your computer, blocking the USB ports is not a good idea. First of all, what's the point of having USB ports if you are going to block them? A user could also just unplug the USB keyboard and connect his or her USB in that port.
USB Security is a small but very effective application that prevents unauthorized USB drives from connecting to your computer, without blocking the port and still allowing USB keyboards, mouses and printers to be used normally. This application makes it easy to create a list of the allowed devices, it also allows you to set a password for connecting a device that is not explicitly listed. The application logs all the attempts of connecting unauthorized USB devices while running silently on the background.
USB Security is very useful in corporate networks, since it can be managed from a central computer, so updating the security policy of the central server will affect all computer immediately. The version we offer here will support up to five computers, if you need to protect more computers, you will need to buy the 'Professional'-version.
