The Universal Serial Bus port on a PC could be a backdoor into an enterprise network, or a way for sensitive data to be taken out of a company. To give IT managers more control over devices connected to USB ports, Centennial Software on Tuesday plans to release DeviceWall 3.1. The software, installed on clients, helps organizations control access of devices such as MP3 players, memory sticks and personal digital assistants, the company said.
The updated DeviceWall software includes protection against a risk posed by USB drives that attempt to bypass USB removable media lockdown policies by disguising themselves as CDs, according to Centennial. The update also adds new reporting capabilities to help IT managers determine the risks of devices connecting to their network. The software tracks what devices are being used, where they are connected and who's using them. DeviceWall 3.1 is free for a 30 trial, after which it costs $10 per user.
and uses up most of the R & D budget. Seems like the impetus for development these days is away from use and usability and towards making IT more expense and inconvenient. What's wrong with just firing the jerks you can't trust. It's not hard to find out who they are and if you can't trust them, why pay them?

And I was trying ot find a way to use my USB drive at work, somehow bypassing the security system they have in place. Although it seems to be internal to the company.
Speaking of which, how would one go about making a USB drive look like a CD drive in Windows? I think I will Google that one. :)
