USB Device Management Software
Monitor insider activity. Detect anomalies. Respond to incidents. ALL-IN-ONE
USB devices are irreplaceable in modern offices. Yet when poorly managed, they can become the reason for a cybersecurity incident resulting in data and endpoint compromise.
Instead of prohibiting the use of all USB devices, you can granularly manage them with USB device management software like Ekran System.
Ekran System® delivers continuous monitoring and granular management of USB devices, enabling you to enhance your user activity monitoring and access management efforts. Our platform gives you the power to decide which USB devices to monitor, whitelist, or block depending on their type or even their vendor.
When to use USB device management®
Establishing granular, properly configured USB device control and monitoring can help your organization secure critical resources from misuse and compromise. In particular, deploying USB device management software enables:
- Secure implementation of a BYOD policy
- A secure shift to remote work
- Establishment of a zero-trust architecture
- Compliance with key data security standards and regulations

How Ekran System’s USB device management works
You can use Ekran System to filter the use of USB devices, both manually and automatically. Our USB device management functionality works on two levels:
- Automatic monitoring
- Kernel-level monitoring
Two levels of Ekran System’s USB device management
Automatic monitoring
Monitors all connected USB devices. No additional configurations
are required.
Kernel-level monitoring
Enables you to set rules for monitoring, permitting, or prohibiting the use of particular USB devices.
Ekran System’s USB management functionality allows you to:
- Continuously monitor all connected USB devices — Review and analyze Ekran System’s records of all USB device-related events along with other user activity logs on a monitored endpoint.
- Block connected USB devices — Specify which devices to block permanently and which can only be accessed after manual admin approval. Show custom pop-up notifications or an access request form to your employees whenever they try to connect a restricted USB device.
- Whitelist separate USB devices — Create individual exceptions so that Ekran System won’t monitor and block specific devices on chosen endpoints.
- Get notified of suspicious connection attempts — Have your security personnel receive real-time alerts when a user tries to connect a potentially dangerous or restricted USB device. Ekran System can send notifications via email or system tray messages.
