DEKSI USB Security

Creating a protective veil to keep all the devices from a local network safe from intrusions that may sneak in by taking advantage of unprotected ports is not a very easy task. Fortunately, there are enough solutions to mend such potential problems and DEKSI USB Security is one of them.

This program comes with a plain GUI, without any sort of adornment and clearly bent on functionality rather than good looks. All the functions and commands are at hand, it is quite a simple job to manage the remote clients that control the access permissions.

DEKSI USB Security works by enforcing a set of custom permissions on the target systems through dedicated clients. They can be set up from the same centralized console and customized individually, so each PC can have its very own set of rules, which is saved inside the Settings Manager.

The options can be adjusted in an easy manner so as to have external devices, including BitLocker ones blocked from connecting through USB ports. It is also possible to activate password protection and, more importantly, create a white list with the devices that are allowed to connect, like network printers or other such peripherals.

Active Directory is also supported and to connect to a specific domain it is sufficient to provide the credentials and tick a box to use them when accessing a client computer.

DEKSI USB Security sports a pretty good reporting functionality that can help administrators keep track of installed clients, while retrieving the saved information and exporting it in the form of RPT report files. Log files can be viewed inside the application, from the dedicated area, by simply checking the box corresponding to the target PC.

The conclusion for DEKSI USB Security is that it promises much, but still has a fairly long road ahead. Creating advanced and custom permissions is not possible and, overall, the peogram is not as easy to use as it could be.
