SafeConsole PortBlocker is a USB device control solution that blocks unauthorized USB devices from connecting to workstations across an organization's network. It operates as a background agent on endpoints and cannot be disabled by non-privileged users, providing continuous USB port protection. Key capabilities include: - Automatic blocking of unapproved USB devices upon insertion, with immediate admin notification and audit log entry - Device whitelisting based on Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), and serial number, configurable for a set time or permanently - Read-only mode for specific ports or devices to control data transfer direction - Real-time monitoring and logging of all USB port activity, reported back to the SafeConsole central management platform - Centralized policy enforcement across all endpoints via the SafeConsole platform PortBlocker is deployed and managed through the SafeConsole management platform, which provides centralized control, policy distribution, and endpoint audit logs. Policy updates are distributed by administrators and take effect in real time. The product is applicable in regulated industries including government, healthcare (HIPAA compliance), and financial services (PCI-DSS, GDPR compliance), where control over USB-based data exfiltration and unauthorized device access is required.
