FAQ

USB blocking is a security measure that limits capabilities of USB ports on user devices. This measure allows you to manage USB devices and restrict their use to protect your computers from malware, data theft, and other malicious activity.

USB-blocking software is especially vital for organizations in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, and the public sector since they store loads of sensitive information.

One way to restrict the use of USB is to deploy USB control software. It allows you to specify which devices are allowed to be connected to computers within your network and which aren’t.
