USBguard

PROTECT AGAINST THE DANGERS OF USB FILE TRANSFERS

The USBguard is a compact device that can be taken with you to where you need it

RISKS

Unknown USB

If your USB storage device happens to be infected by malware, you subject everyone else to the risk of infection by plugging your device into any other machines. When files are transferred using the USBguard, both users can choose the file(s) to be transferred, and no other files will accidentally be transferred.
The USBguard has antivirus software integrated and a possibility to remove malicious files to make a USB drive usable again.

BadUSB

BadUSB turns a USB storage drive into a serious security risk. A BadUSB is made by reprogramming a USB storage device, after which the device can for example act as a keyboard and input commands to a computer as soon as the drive is connected. If the USBguard detects a BadUSB device, it prevents further action and displays a message to the user, prompting to remove the device.
The USBguard will always alert the user if the attached USB device is anything other than a mass storage device.

USB killer

A USB killer is usually an ordinary looking USB drive that is designed to destroy a computer or it’s components by delivering high voltage power surges to the device. If the attached USB device would be a USB killer, it is better that the USBguard is damaged instead of your computer.
Replacing a damaged USBguard device for a new one is included in the USBguard service.
