  • Because the USB standards have devices "self identify", it is difficult to lock down ports through software. See gizmodo.com/…. Some companies are resorting to epoxying the ports! slashgear.com/… Commented Jan 11, 2016 at 21:38
  • Well it's not that we want to deny access to USB devices, we only want to deny Write Access to all USB devices, except the one we provide. We deal in PHI, so only our approved USB device is allow to have files written to it. Other USB devices need to be allowed in a read-only mode as to copy data from them, but we don't have control on when and where those USB devices are required to be used.
