What is USB Safeguard?

USB Safeguard is a comprehensive USB security solution designed to prevent data breaches and cyber threats from USB storage devices. It provides centralized control over all USB ports and devices connected to an organization's endpoints.

With USB Safeguard, IT administrators can set granular device access permissions, disable USB ports, block unsuitable devices, as well as monitor, audit and log all USB device connections, file transfers and user activity. The software prevents unauthorized data transfer, as well as blocks malware infection and MitM attacks.

Key features include device whitelisting/blacklisting, read only permissions, endpoint USB port management, device encryption, flexible policy engine, logging/auditing and reporting. USB Safeguard works by intermediating the passage of data between USB devices and endpoints to apply safety checks and block unwanted traffic.

USB Safeguard provides hard drive-level encryption to secure data stored on removable USB drives. The software is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux systems and supports all types of USB devices. It's suitable for regulated industries like healthcare, finance and government.
