Thanks for the reply - have downloaded a trial version, but it wouldn't let me install it on my works laptop as it was looking for a server. &nbsp;Will try and install on the server and set it up from there and see how it goes.<br />

Many years ago the company I was with used a program called Disknet Pro from Reflex. This prevented users from putting removable media into their networked computers without having gone through a standalone Administrators Console. &nbsp;The console would virus scan the media nd if it was clean, would add a digital signature to the media which, when placed into a system, was checked and if the signature was there it allowed data to &nbsp;be transferred.<br />
I know the program is still around, but was wondering what other people use to stop USB devices, like external HDD and Pen Drives, from accessing the system without permission?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
