This security program will ensure that no unauthorized USB devices will be connected to your PC or to any of the PCs on your network. This sort of functionality can prove to be quite useful in a corporate environment: it protects against data theft. Without being able to connect a USB Flash drive, for example, the would-be thief cannot get his hands on the data he wants to steal.

Several editions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system are supported; you will have no problems installing the application on a Windows-powered PC. The DEKSI USB Security installation file is 7.9Mb in size. A setup wizard will show up when you run the file and will help you with the task of installing DEKSI USB Security.

To the left, on DEKSI USB Security’s interface you will see a Task pane; it lets you install the client on any machine on the network, remove the client from a network machine, install settings on client, view Active Directory settings, view client installations, get reports from clients, and view log files. In the upper left hand corner there’s a File menu and underneath it there are buttons for a few functions the DEKSI USB Security application can perform.

USB devices such as mice, keyboards, and printers will function as usual; DEKSI USB Security will not influence these devices. USB devices such as Flash drives, memory card readers, and other portable storage devices will not work while DEKSI USB Security is on guard. The application will block unauthorized USB devices. The only way DEKSI USB Security will let USB devices connect is if the correct password is provided. DEKSI USB Security does all this while running silently in the background, unnoticed by the user.

Block out all USB devices to prevent data theft or the spread of viruses. Set it up so that designated USB devices can connect when the correct password is provided. You can easily do this with the DEKSI USB Security application.

Pros

Getting DEKSI USB Security is a fairly simple process. The interface is focused on functionality. Use the DEKSI USB Security application to block USB devices. Runs in the background, silently.

Cons

Free to use for a limited amount of time; nag screen.
