Hello Mailing list,

I am looking for free / commercial tool / script to monitor, audit, report
USB storage drive activities happening on the network. USB drives are by default disabled through group policy enforcement. However
laptop users running in exception mode needs to be further scanned &
audited.

CounterACT (by ForeScout) is a commercial product, but does an excellent job of monitoring client activity. You can plug/unplug a USB drive from the client and the CounterACT manager shows the activity (logs) in near real-time. I'm not sure if it can detail what data is being transferred, but the logging of USB drive connectivity alone can greatly assist incident response.
