Developer’s Description

By Service Master Software
Control USB drives on your network.
USB Drive Guard is a data leak prevention (DLP) security solution that enables network administrators to centrally control USB drives on the network. This application runs silently on any windows PC and when someone inserts any type of storage device it will check a database on your network to see if its has been authorized. If the device has not been authorized then the device will be ejected so the person can't use it and a window pops up with your customized message. If it has been authorized the user sees nothing and the device can be used normally. Add another layer of security to your company computers by protecting your data & prevent users from bringing in viruses on their USB or CD/DVD storage drives. Ejecting a drive doesn't mean it is physically removed and goes flying out of the computer. It means that Windows can no longer see, or use it. The drive will still be plugged into the USB port. This application does NOT turn off the ability for windows to use all USB devices like all the other software out there. USB Drive Guard allows you through a network database to approve certain drives and when an approved drive is plugged into any computer running this software it will be allowed. If a drive was never approved then the drive will be ejected and the ejected drive will be logged to the database for you to review. Other USB devices like printers, mice, and keyboards are not affected in any way. Only devices that can read & write data. Think about how easy it is for an employee, or anyone to walk into your business with a tiny USB thumb drive and insert it then extract any company documents and take it with them. Another issue is employees bringing in Smart Phones, MP3 players, or virus infested drives. You now have a way to block or allow this type of access all from one easy to use administrator interface. If it has a drive letter USB Drive Guard can remove it. All storage drives have a unique serial number. USB Drive Guard gets the serial numb
