We use USB Drives everyday and are grateful for the service they provide, but on the downside, there are three reasons people should restrict or control USB Drive Access into their computers.

1. Virus Traffic

2. Personal Privacy

3. Data Theft

Download The USB Drive Monitor Demo

Virus Traffic: There are many people these days that use USB Drives on a daily basis.  At work or at home you’ll find many people carrying their USB Drives with many good and bad files.  The most draw back to using USB Drives is Virus Traffic.  A USB Drive will carry viruses to all accessed computers.

Most Antivirus software today are specialized with internet virus sources and are paying little attention to viruses coming directly from USB Drives.  Autorun virus is one of the most types of viruses that might tamper with your computer files and settings coming from a USB Drive and the Antivirus won’t even notice.

Imagine 1000 employees each with a personal USB Drive that carries god knows what type of viruses from home and plugs in his/her USB Drive into a network PC of 1000 users !!!  You can prevent this problem from happening ahead of time by using USB Drive Monitor to control USB Drive access to your computers.

Personal Privacy: in todays world even the little brothers and sisters carry USB Drives in their little pockets.  If you’re at home and you keep personal notes, pictures, videos, or even working on an important project; you need to have your computer secured.

Otherwise with one little innocent mistake all your data will be gone after your little sibling inserts a USB Drive into your PC.  Your private information might be uploaded on the internet as a silly joke.

You can use the USB Drive Monitor to secure your PC from Foreign USB Drives or even lock and unlock your PC by using your configured Personal USB Drive.  You can activate a screensaver or generate a sound or custom text alert to intruders.  You’ll have full control over your PC.

Data Theft: Its a good practice to use USB Drives at work, but with rules and regulations.  Without proper USB Access Control you’ll have your company data and privacy at risk.

Solution One: You can have a master PC that logs USB Drive files by using USB Drive Monitor to identify unique hardware key and user name as well as  log USB Drive file content and use this PC as a checking gateway for your company.

Solution Two: You can assign a USB Drive to be officially used inside the company only and restrict all other USB Mass Storage Devices.  You can configure this USB Drive by using the USB Drive Monitor and securing the program with a password used by the administrator.   The USB Drive monitor can be configured to delete files on unauthorized USB Drives inserted into any computer to make sure no data is lost.

Solution Three: Its the important information that needs to be protected.  Your company can assign specified PCs to have confidential and important data and secure then with the USB Drive Monitor.  You can have all USB Mass Storage Devices disabled, Sound and Text messages enabled, Task Manager disabled, Screensaver enabled and file deletion on Foreign USB Drives inserted will still be an option.

This way you set the rules and the USB Drive Monitor will enforce them for you.
