Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 also allows this level of granularity via Application and Device Control policy. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Ryan Kovar Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 2:19 PM To: Todd Haverkos Cc: Al Cooper; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Locking Out All But Company Issued USB Drives Sophos AV allows this sort of granularity... you have it only allow encrypted USBs OR have it lock down to one brand of USBs. Although your shop may not want to deploy a whole new AV suite for that one aspect. On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 6:21 PM, Todd Haverkos <infosec () haverkos com> wrote:
"Al Cooper" <cooper () hmcnetworks com> writes:Hi All, I am looking for a good solution for locking out all the USB ports on a companys computers to all but company issued USB drives. I am in a small business environment (about 150 computers). All computers are currently running Vista but will be migrating to Windows 7 in about a year. I have seen some DLP solutions but this seems like over kill and expensive. Any suggestions?I've seen a demo of McAfee's solution for this -- they can even have an option that involves a mcafee branded biometrically encrypted usb drives with finger swipe scanners built in. It can work with their ePO management console and I think their device control package (i.e. DLP not required if memory serves) to lock down to only using those particular drives. Or they can lock down in a more typical arrangement to specific vendor's drives. A buddy whose shop uses Mcafee has indicated that they include device control in their base level endpoint suite these days, which prices out less than virusscan alone, for whatever it's worth. I believe it's something you could start using now and simply migrate orthogonally to win7 later. -- Todd Haverkos, LPT MsCompE http://haverkos.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
