I may be late here and someone may have mentioned it, but you can disable the USB Drivers for Windows XP via the registry. Even better Logon Scripts. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823732 JMB -----Original Message----- From: Marios Papaioannou [mailto:m.papaioannou () cytanet com cy] Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 4:35 AM To: 'Gray, Steve' Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: USB Security Hello Steve,
From my point of view, the only 100% secure way to reduce the risk of
usb is to disable the usb ports from bios. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I have found some software, from a firm called Generix, that looks as though it will control the use but it is difficult to get managers to pay for it. They seem to understand risks from floppy disks and CD's, but not from USB devices. Any practical policy guidelines to limit risks would be welcome.
