USB Device Monitoring & Audit
Advanced Analytics.
USB ports remain one of the most significant vulnerabilities in enterprise security. Prodexo.ai provides 'Peripheral Visibility,' allowing organizations to monitor, log, and audit every device that touches their network, from thumb drives to malicious HID emulators.
The hidden cost of spoofed productivity.
Unauthorized USB devices are the primary vector for data exfiltration and malware entry. 'Rubber Ducky' scripts can steal passwords in seconds, and unauthorized mobile tethering can bypass corporate firewalls, leaving the network exposed.
How Prodexo AI solves it.
We turn every USB port into a managed gateway. Prodexo captures the Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), and Serial Number of every device. Admins can whitelist approved hardware and receive instant alerts when a blacklisted or unknown device is connected.
Operational Impact
DLP Protection
Identify and stop unauthorized data transfers to personal storage.
Zero-Trust Hardware
Ensure only company-issued peripherals are used on sensitive machines.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet the 'Physical Media' control requirements of ISO 27001 and SOC2.
Technical Implementation
"The system hooks into the OS hardware event bus (PnP) to capture descriptor strings. We cross-reference these against a global database of known malicious hardware signatures, including BadUSB and HID spoofers."
Deployment Protocol
Event Hooking
Instant interception of the USB 'Handshake' at the OS level.
Class Auditing
Determining if the device is Storage, Input, Communication, or Unknown.
Registry Matching
Comparing device Serial Numbers against the approved asset list.
Real-time Notification
Emailing or Slack-alerting IT when an unauthorized device is detected.
Operational Intelligence FAQ
Q: Does it block the USB device immediately?
The standard version provides logging and alerts; blocking controls can be enabled based on your policy.
Q: Can it see the files inside a thumb drive?
No. For privacy and performance, we focus on the hardware ID and connection event, not file-level browsing.
Q: Does it work with wireless USB dongles?
Yes. Any device that registers through the USB bus (even wireless mice) is monitored.
Q: Will it flag my phone if I'm just charging it?
It will log the connection. If your policy prohibits phone tethering, it will flag it as a 'Communication Device'.
Q: Is there a limit to how many devices it can log?
No. The system maintains a complete historical audit trail of all connections.
Q: Can I whitelist my specific mouse and keyboard?
Yes. Admins can create a 'Golden List' of approved hardware IDs for the entire company.
