Post subject: Security risk and back door access for USB netowrk devices Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>security_admin (more info?)
I have a site wide issue were users can access the internet using USB Modems
/ Network cards.
I want to disable to capability due to some recent security treat that
entered our network. All PCs use USB K/K and mice there fore disabling UBS is
not an option.
I believe doing some work on IPSEC can resolve this issue but I cannot
figure it out..
Please advice.
Thanks..

How do you know the "security threat" was the result of the specific user
behavior you describe? What is this "security threat"?
Sounds to me like you've got a human problem, not a technical one. If your
users are wantonly installing their own hardware, take a moment and think
why this is happening. Are they just goofing off (a human/management
problem), or do they need Internet access to get their jobs done (another
management problem)?

How about a complete re-write so people can understand what you are trying to express.

Strikes me this is more of a disciplinary matter than an IT one. The best
approach to such issues is, I find, to make it clear that such activities
WILL be detected, and that an unpleasant experience will follow for the
perpetrator.

This comes under the header of creating an "Authorized Use Policy" and having all
employees sign it.
