Default Controlling removeable storage


Hi,

Does anyone use any 3rd party software to control access to removable
storage on their network? We are considdering using either GFI portable
storage controll or DeviceWall.

Does anyone have experience or can comment on either of these two products
or perhaps there are other solutions to be considdered.

Any comments / opinions much apreciated.

FC.

Take a look at DeviceLock (www.devicelock.com or
www.protect-me.com/dl/). DeviceLock is much more powerful than
DeviceWall and GFI. For example, using DeviceLock you can white list
USB devices. In DeviceWall and in GFI you can't allow certain device
while locking all others. DeviceWall and GFI can be easily disabled by
experienced users while DeviceLock can't be disabled even by local
admins.
