Subscribe to the BlogUSB-Safe-Keeper is a software package designed to monitor USB file transfer in a network environment. This is the main feature: monitoring and reporting the USB file transfer activity.
The application should be able to allow or block the file transfer from certain devices – considered as being “not trusted”. This is the secondary feature. This feature includes email alerting and desktop notifications when a “not trusted” is plugged.
The application architecture is client – server.
The client application has to be installed or deployed on every computer that is intended to be monitored. At the installation the client has to be linked to a server by name or IP address. The client has to run for all users’ accounts (on that computer) and has to be invisible in the task manager. The client can be uninstalled by running an uninstaller which will require a password. The password is stored on the server.
The server represents a central user interface from where the admin is able to see:
- All the monitored computers – where the client computer is running and the status (online or offline)
- By selecting a computer – he will be able to see the USB activity for the current day, current week, current month, custom period of time (from date – till date)
- By selecting a computer – he will be able to see the list of “not trusted” devices and when they were connected on the computer
- A section called alerts should be included – where the admin will see all the request for access from the network – he can give temporary or full access for the specified device or continue to block it.
- The ability to stop monitoring a workstation or to uninstall the client application remotely
And many more ... to come.
