USB Device Control and Lockdown Software for Enterprise

USB Lock RP is a robust USB device control security software solution that centrally manages access of removable drives, mobile devices, and wireless adapters to servers, workstations, and laptops within a network. It features advanced USB Lockdown capabilities designed to block unauthorized USB removable devices and protect computer data in industrial processes and corporate offices.

Classified as enterprise USB port control, USB-Lock-RP is an administrative and security enforcement tool specifically designed to block USB devices and protect data assets on Windows operating systems. It operates independently with a minimal memory and storage footprint.

The Management Console operates on-premises within the enterprise network and provides real-time granular control and visibility over USB activity and endpoint computers. It controls device access policy and enforces rules to specific computers, as well as groups of computers with ease. Receives devices connection alerts and logs events automatically, including USB Monitoring for details on approved file transfers.

USB Lock RP detects devices' hardware IDs to allow specific USB devices and block the rest without interfering with harmless peripherals. USB flash drives can be authorized to work on specific machines, groups or across the network

USB Lockdown is required to effectively prevent data loss and malware infection by means of USB media. USB Lock rejects unauthorized devices at system level and blocks USB incoming and outgoing data.

USB blocking and Lock down characteristics are unique and offer superior data security than consumer-based USB control solutions or antivirus software attempting to analyze unauthorized devices, because accessing unknown devices creates unnecessary risk and results in a waste of system resources.

Additionally, USB Lock RP provides robust encryption for data transferred from the organization’s computers to authorized USB drives, functioning as a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) measure. This encryption safeguards sensitive information on authorized devices, ensuring that data remains secure not only on the organization’s computers but also while USB devices are in transit. Auto-Encryption can be toggled ON/OFF in real-time, enabling administrators to maintain data security seamlessly as files move between devices and the network.

It is also capable of setting a read-only policy for specific USB drives in real-time. This advanced read-only function write-protects specific USB drives data while other authorized USB drives can be full access on the same machine. (While unauthorized USB drives continue to be blocked)

Seamless USB Device Control Integration and Deployment

USB Lock offers effortless integration of USB device control into your existing IT infrastructure. Designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, the software ensures quick deployment across all endpoint devices with minimal system impact. Its lightweight footprint means you can implement this robust usb port security software without compromising performance or requiring any hardware upgrades.

The deployment process is straightforward and can be executed remotely, allowing administrators to install the client software on multiple machines simultaneously using tools like Group Policy or Windows Installer MSI packages. This means your organization can rapidly establish comprehensive USB port control and device management without disrupting daily operations.

By operating entirely on-premises, USB-Lock-RP eliminates dependencies on cloud services or continuous internet connectivity, enhancing security and giving you full control over your data and device policies. The intuitive Management Console provides centralized administration, enabling you to configure and enforce security settings across specific computers or groups with ease.

Whether protecting a small business or a large enterprise network, USB-Lock-RP scales seamlessly to meet your organization's needs, providing consistent USB device control and endpoint protection throughout your environment.

Features of USB-Lock-RP Device Control Software

Benefits of Using USB-Lock-RP Device Control Software

• Control: USB Management application On-Premises (not cloud-based)
• Client: Local System Service

• Latest Version: v.13.844
• Published date: October 2, 2024.

• Dedicated Technical Team on Stand by

Blocking USB Devices on Specific Computers

1. Select a client PC from the USB-Lock-RP Control Dashboard network list.
2. Click on the left-side lock icon.
3. Done! You have just protected the removable drives sector on the selected computer in real-time.

Now the following devices will be blocked unless specifically authorized: USB, eSATA and Firewire drives, Mobile phones (MTP Protocol), and memory cards while also smart blocking USB keystroke injection attacks. Setting are enforced in real-time (To unprotect just click the lock again).

Locking Peripheral Ports on Groups of Computers

By default 5 groups are created, and all new installed clients will belong to group 1 as seen on the groups column, so you are ready to lock removable storage on all computers at this point.

1. Rename groups using the group rename function.(optional.)
2. Add computers to groups by right clicking on the selected machine and choosing a group name.(optional.)
3. Click the Group security button and choose the group name, sector (e.g., Removable drives), desired action (e.g., Protect) and press OK.

Great!, you just Locked removable drives sector on all computers that belong to the chosen group. You will see all computers in that group changing its security status to protected in real-time.

Whitelist USB Thumb drives and Smartphones

Authorizing specific USB pen drives and Mobile phones is as easy, just insert the device you need to authorize (at the control or at the client) and press authorize. Done!

Besides USB Control (Removable Storage Sector), three other sectors to manage are available and are as easy to protect: CD/DVD Sector, iRDA/Bluetooth Sector, and WiFi Sector.

Blocked or authorized device connection to any client computer automatically generate an alert event stored encrypted at Control server. This records are readable from within the Central USB-Lock-RP Device Control interface and show date-time, Hardware ID, logged user & machine name.

At client-side a full screen alert instructs the user to remove the device, this alerts bear the licensed organization logo at top-left corner.

USB Encryption

The protection of data inside removable storage is done by forcing automatic encryption, this function can also be turned ON or OFF with just one click. (Monitoring needs to be activated for USB encryption to work).

When USB encryption is active all files transferred from the endpoint computer to authorized USB flash drives are automatically AES 256 encrypted. (all data not just the headers)

Stored files on encrypted USB Thumb drives can be opened within the endpoint originating client or within any other endpoint USB-Lock-RP client that has USB Encryption activated. (files are automatically decrypted in those systems when opened)

This function ensures that information contained inside authorized devices is only accessible within determined computers in the network and none outside the network.

Protection against badUSB devices

Protecting against badUSB device e.g. USB Rubber Ducky is very important. This device type is extremely dangerous, its firmware has been modified to impersonate Human interface devices (HID) such as keyboards.

This class of BadUSB can inflict keystroke injection attacks and introduce malicious payloads to harm the operating system and network infrastructure. Blocking BadUSB is a standard function in USB Lock, the program makes a quick analysis when it detects any change on keyboard or mouse enumeration to prevent such attacks, other than that keyboards and mouse can work normally without restriction.

USB Monitoring

Monitoring the transfer of files to removable drives is activated or deactivated with just one click independently of the removable storage sector protection state. Monitoring can be set to groups or to specific machines, While USB removable drives sector is in protected state authorized devices will be monitored and while in unprotected state any connected usb drive is monitored

USB File Transfer Monitoring Records Include

Records are received by the control in near real-time and are presented for an at a glance view on two side panels and stored organized by machine name/date/time for review when needed.
At the Central control server the collected data remains encrypted and same as all device connection alert records are protected only readable within the control interface.
USB File transfer monitoring can be set to be simultaneously sent as part of the secure email alert function if configured.
