In the battlefield of corporate information security, mobile storage devices are like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they bring convenience to office work. On the other hand, however, they also hide huge risks. Once unfamiliar USB flash drives are randomly connected to corporate office computers, confidential data may be leaked instantly, and viruses and malicious software will flood in like a deluge, bringing disaster to the enterprise. Therefore, how to precisely manage and control mobile storage devices has become the top priority in corporate security management.

Although most corporate office computers restrict mobile storage devices, there are still special situations where specific USB flash drives need to be connected. So how can we make clever settings to allow only the designated few USB flash drives to work smoothly while keeping other outsiders at bay? The answer lies in the OsMonitor computer monitoring software.

Firstly, make sure that the employee-side computers are in a monitored state, which is like laying a solid foundation for the security defense line. Then, on the management-side computer, simply click the mouse to select the group that needs to be set up, accurately locate the employees in the restricted departments. Click on "USB Management", check the option of "Only allow designated USB flash drives or mobile hard drives", and then click on the small but magical button on the right. Immediately, an interface for selecting USB flash drives will pop up.

At this time, insert the special USB flash drives issued by the company one by one. With a light click on the "Add" button, their unique "Hardware ID" numbers will be included in the security whitelist. Don't underestimate this string of numbers. Even for USB flash drives of the same brand and with no difference in appearance, the "Hardware ID" numbers are like their exclusive identity cards and will never be repeated. When these authorized USB flash drives are handed over to employees, they become the passes that can freely travel in the corporate computer world.

As for those unfamiliar USB flash drives that attempt to sneak in, once inserted into the employees' computers, they will trigger the powerful defense mechanism of the OsMonitor software and be automatically intercepted. Meanwhile, on the management side, this violation behavior will be recorded in detail, just like leaving an indelible piece of evidence.

All in all, if an enterprise can skillfully use this function of the OsMonitor computer monitoring software, it is equivalent to putting on an impenetrable armor for the enterprise's information assets. It not only safeguards the enterprise's data but also enables you to confidently take control of the overall situation in the arena of information security management.
