You have the ability to prevent both reading from and writing to USB and SD drives, as well as limit access to non-system partitions for enhanced security. This protective measure guarantees that no USB or SD device can connect to your computer without your explicit consent or prior addition to a trusted devices list. By creating a whitelist, you can allow only specific authorized USB drives while denying access to all others. Furthermore, you can block access to certain websites, redirecting users to a blank page or a designated "blocked page" if they try to access restricted sites, ensuring that the original content is never visible on your system. GiliSoft USB Lock is a powerful tool for preventing data leaks, effectively protecting your information from being transferred to USB drives, external hard drives, CDs, DVDs, or any other similar portable devices. Once installed, USB Lock gives you the authority to disallow the use of any drives and devices not owned by you, thereby further fortifying your data security protocols. This multifaceted strategy not only guards your data but also offers reassurance against any unauthorized access attempts, allowing you to maintain better control over your information.
