Mr_Jiminy Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What does everyone use for USB device control?
dloudon96 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Would you need to control them with the network or for a specific user? More info is needed. Dan
Roberto Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What does everyone use for USB device control? What do you mean? We use a little utility that stops drive letters clashing with network drives but other than that, we really don't care too much.

Mr_Jiminy Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 We are looking to block by device type. Using a GPO serves a purpose, however it's too basic. Caffrey what AV are you using? We're considering trialling Kaspersky and evening blinking Sophos. Grey-gear was Impero provided by your LA or was this procured direct?
dloudon96 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Impero is really good for everything, if you want to monitor students and provided remote access to both staff and or students get impero. It's costly but has absolutely loads of features. We currently have it where I work and to tell you the truth I don't know what we would have done without it. Staff can also reset passwords, IT admins (us) can deploy software, set print quotas for students. It's worth looking at. Dan 1

dloudon96 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'm not 100% sure however if you have a USB mouse and keyboard these should still work. Hope this helps. Mdan
caffrey Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Just moved to ESET from Sophos, got a good deal - so far I'm liking it.
Mr_Jiminy Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 How granular can ESET get in regards to blocking specific devices? We're looking at Kaspersky.
caffrey Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Never needed to use the feature but it seems like you can How do I add a new removable media blocking rule in my Windows ESET product? (5.x) - ESET Knowledgebase
Arthur Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 How granular can ESET get in regards to blocking specific devices? You can block by Vendor, Model and Serial Number if you wanted to. Compared to USBDLM however, NOD32 is quite basic since the criteria is limited. http://a.pomf.se/wqmnqi.png http://a.pomf.se/yzlhxe.png These screenshots are from NOD32 v8.0. 1
