Technology is growing by leaps and bounds in the contemporary times; USB Storage unit forms an important part of the IT industry in that scenario. It is able to replace the Floppy drive’s utility, which were small and were also not able to provide ample storage facilities. Floppy Drives and the external drives have therefore paved way for the USB Storage drives. There are in fact humungous benefits of these drives as they are small in size and big in capacity, along with providing easy functionality and also easy portability of data from one location to another.
However certain disadvantages of USB Storage have also come fore, the foremost being the ability of data to be stolen easily from one computer to another, therefore the authenticity of the data is in compromise. Anyone can simply slide in a small little pen drive in to the USB port and take away the confidential information to be given to someone else. In this kind state of affairs it is imperative to limit the usage of USB Storage devices (which most of the corporate offices are doing) or to make a way to monitor the transfer of data from one place to another.
USB Theft Protection Tools have been devised for Windows Network. These are so formulated to track and exhibit the insertion and retrieval information of this drive, thereby protecting unauthorized personnel to transfer the data. All the information is traced from the time and date on which the data was retrieved and the Password identity of the person doing it. Therefore there is no compromise on the importance of the USB Storage device and there have been ways and means that have been developed to ensure that this still remains the most popular form of strong anf=d transferring data without any loopholes in its functionalities.
