The number of USB attacks is increasing year by year.

Let’s look closer at the most common types of USB drive dangers and ways to secure your organization from them. Such attacks can result in the theft or compromise of sensitive data, damage to your infrastructure, or even damaged machines. USB devices can be infected with malware that attacks your corporate system once a device is connected.
