I am looking for a way to password protect usb ports. &nbsp;I want restricted access for all devices except keyboard and mice. &nbsp;Although I would still like to be able to access the port if our IT team needs to use a usb port for a flash drive or external hard drive. &nbsp;So far in my research I have come up dry on finding any software that does such a thing. &nbsp;Maybe one of you guys could steer me in the right direction?

I am looking for a way to password protect usb ports.  I want restricted access for all devices except keyboard and mice.

USB Restricted access

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
