Industry: Software
Press Release Summary: Control and Monitor USB Device Usage. Whether you\'re an IT professional, a small business owner, or just someone who cares about sensitive data security, MyUSBOnly can help protect you against data theft.
Press Release Body: AC Element Company has released MyUSBOnly v. 4.12, a Windows security application that prevents data theft through your computer\'s USB ports. While USB ports have made computing much more convenient, these ports have also introduced a security threat that could subject many computer users to identity theft and data theft. It is easy for people to plug a USB storage device into your computer, and be able to quickly download your personal data. MyUSBOnly thwarts their attempts to gain access to your computer via your USB ports.
New features for MyUSBOnly v. 4.12 are :
- Support for silent unattended installations thru a new .msi package of MyUSBOnly. - Centralized configuration of password setting and whitelist entries. - Monitor files/folders copy, modify, delete activities on USB memory stick.
MyUSBOnly is a unique product that provides your computer security against USB storage devices that are so prevalent nowadays in any environment. Technically, it acts as something similar to a firewall that monitors the USB ports for any storage device that is connected to the protected computer.
The software also has reporting features such as email notifications each time somebody attaches a USB device to your desktop or laptop. MyUSBOnly also maintains a security log of all attempts to gain access to your computer via USB flash drives, iPods, card-readers, or any USB hardware. Modified and copied files are now included in the log entries and can be configured to send all log information to syslog. Use syslog viewers such as Kiwi Syslog Daemon TM to view all the log entries from one or more computers in the network, allowing administrators to be able to manage and audit security.
There is also an option to hide the software from the user, by not displaying any tray icons at all, so it silently works in the background without even the user knowing it\'s there.
Whether you\'re a business person who needs to protect the computers in your office or store, a teacher who wants to keep students from downloading private information from the classroom computer, or a home user who needs to keep the neighbors and kids from accessing emails and financial data, MyUSBOnly has the tools that you need.
MyUSBOnly v. 4.12 runs under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Server 2008, costs $29.90(US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online on http://www.myusbonly.com/.
