Overview

Motadata ServiceOps allows you to control the accessibility of USB devices. You can block or unblock USB ports on computers for users, preventing them from connecting devices like printers, pen drives, etc., to company machines. This helps an organization restrict data from leaving the premises and protect it from damage. Once the settings are configured, you can push them to the desired assets using the deployment policy, saving time by implementing configurations on multiple machines remotely. Currently, only configurations for USB devices are supported.

For example: If an organization needs to block the USB ports of certain devices, they can do so by creating USB configuration deployment requests. Once created, the settings will be applied to the selected systems, and access permissions will be updated accordingly.
