With PGP Whole Disk Encryption, an administrator can protect USB devices with a policy that specifies read only, or forced encryption. PGP Endpoint Device Control provides administrators a granular control of removable device (not just USB) usage. For example, an administrator can specify users, permissions, make and model of devices, and much more in a removable device policy.
