The usage of portable storage devices is a growing reality and it poses two main concerns for an organization: data theft and malware injection. It is extremely easy for a disgruntled employee to inject malware or steal business-critical information using a USB device. To prevent such things from happening, IT teams need to enforce strong device restrictions with an apt USB security management in place.
RMM Central's secure USB feature helps administrators limit the scope of USB device usage, selectively based on the various roles and departments. This feature enables administrators to centrally control the usage of various USB devices in the network by blocking or disabling them. It prevents unauthorized download and upload activities as well as the possibility to inject harmful malware into the network. The restriction can be set not just on the computer and user level but also on the manufacturer type, providing more accessibility.

Once a USB device has been restricted, USB alert settings can be configured to notify users whenever they plug in a restricted device. This way, IT teams can ensure that the end user complies with the USB restriction policy set up by the organization.
