FAQ

USB devices are essential in today’s workplace, but if left unmanaged, they can pose serious security risks. Uncontrolled USB access creates serious security gaps, making it easier for attackers to exfiltrate your organization’s sensitive data or inject malware into your network.

Syteca enables you to fully control the use of USB devices within your IT environment. You can choose which external devices to allow, block, or monitor.

Prevent data leaks, enforce security policies, and block insider threats — all without disrupting employee productivity.

Why use USB device management software?

Establishing granular, properly configured USB device control and monitoring can help you secure critical resources from misuse and compromise. In particular, deploying USB management software enables you to:

How USB device management with Syteca works

Syteca’s USB device management feature works on two levels:

Automatic monitoring

Monitors all connected USB devices. No additional configurations are required.

Kernel-level monitoring

Enables you to set rules for monitoring, permitting, or prohibiting the use of particular USB devices.

With Syteca’s USB management capabilities, you can:

Continuously monitor all connected USB devices

Review and analyze records of all events related to USB device use alongside other insightful user activity logs on a monitored endpoint.

Approve specific USB devices

Create individual exceptions so that Syteca doesn’t monitor and block exempted devices on chosen endpoints.

Block connected USB devices

Specify which devices to block permanently and which can only be accessed after manual admin approval. Display custom pop-up notifications or access request forms on employees’ screens whenever they try to connect a restricted USB device.

Get notified of suspicious connection attempts

Receive real-time alerts when a user tries to connect a potentially dangerous or restricted USB device. Syteca can send system tray messages or notifications via email.

FAQ

USB blocking is a cybersecurity measure that restricts or disables the use of USB ports on user devices. It prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to company endpoints, helping to protect your systems from malware infections, data theft, and other types of malicious activity.

USB-blocking software is essential for any organization that handles sensitive or regulated data. It’s especially critical in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, and government industries, where even a single unauthorized device can lead to significant breaches or compliance violations.

Implementing USB control software is the most effective way to manage the use of USB devices in an organization. This type of software allows you to define which USB devices are permitted and which are not. You can create allowlists for approved devices and automatically block any that are untrusted or unknown.

To monitor USB usage, deploy a USB monitoring solution such as  Syteca. USB device management software can track USB device connections in real-time and send alerts on any suspicious or unauthorized activity.

Syteca’s USB control capabilities offer everything you need for comprehensive USB device monitoring. With Syteca, you can:

  • Monitor all connected USB devices across your environment in real-time
  • Receive instant notifications about new USB connections
  • Block or allow specific devices based on type, vendor, or unique ID
  • Create allowlists and blocklists for specific USB devices
  • Generate comprehensive reports on USB activity for use during internal investigations

By deploying Syteca, you gain full control over USB activity while supporting secure BYOD and remote work policies.
