For a corporative protection policy of USB devices and other media I
recommend Check Point Full Disk Encryption or Check Point Media Encryption:

For a free product, Truecrypt.  This is not centrally administered, but
it does a great job if you don't have a bunch to control.

For a thumbdrive, you will want to use the "portable" version which is

when you install...

Someone else posted something in this thread at the bottom about locking
down thumbdrives/auditing/etc...

See below, please.

Guardian Edge has a pretty nice product for this.
