Hello, I am new to the list.I am a new network admin and my boss wants
me to disable usb drives from reading USB/thumb drives but still be able to use the mouse and keyboards. I was thinking of disabling them in the BIOS. Can you give me any suggestions? This question has come up a couple of times in the past few years, but since it's probably been over a year there might be some new tools out there...
