usb logging
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Is it possible for SEP11 to log all USB activity (what is plugged in and what is copied to it) without preventing the use of that device? This could be useful in investigations where we suspect someone of plugging in a USB HD to copy data

VMWARE-- SEP 12.1 vs McAfee vs Trend Micro
As stated in the links above
As stated in the links above SEP can log which files are transfered. There are quite a few third party programs that log this sort of data in great detail (some of them were even mentioned in the links Vikram posted). Hopefully SEP will start to provide more detail in these logs, but for the average user logging the files is a good start : ) This post also reminded me of an article I read a little while back so I browsed my history to find it. It was article that talked about some creative ways to fight data leaks. Here is that link http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/300938/creative_ways_fight_data_leaks. It mostly talks about good practices to use, but there are also some good pointers on how to get to know your network ect ect.
Hope this helps
