Re: open source end-point security solution ?

["Serg B" <sergeslists () gmail com>]

I don't remember the name, sorry.  However I have been on projects
where all peripherals in the machines were disabled, excluding the
keyboard and a mouse... It is definataly doable.

In regards to official and non-official USB; I have no idea how you
would differentiate between the two.  How is an official  device more
"secure" than the non-official device.  That is, you can smuggle data
on any of them, regardless of the type (iPod or a USB stick).


  Cheers,
