Stopping the use of USB drives

We have a product by Pointsec, called Endpoint Security

Really clever piece of software, all tied into AD

Can manage any kind of pc / network attachment , you can block usb drives but not affect blackberry's / usb keyboards and such like

Obviously its able to cope with different policies for whatever user/ pc thats being used. Some times its a little quirky for example using photo scanner to enable a business card reader (which therefore allows photos onto this pc also)

Alos has the ability to stop certain programs running via exe name, and encryption capabilities also (and marking usb drives so only those can be used on the network, all others are disallowed)
 
we have been trialling the new beta version of sophos anti virus which allows us to very easily disable all memory sticks but allow our encrypted memory sticks that we hand out access to the network. very impressive.
