First question would be how to disable this at the OS level. Once you figure that part out, its then how to translate that into a process you can deploy and maintain using Bigfix.

So first of all you need to investigate how to do this for your OS. If its Windows, check out http://woshub.com/how-to-disable-usb-drives-using-group-policy/ and https://www.isumsoft.com/windows-10/how-to-disable-use-of-usb-storage-devices-in-windows-10.html as possible approaches you can pursue

This should work for USB ports. May require a reboot.

regset “[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\USBSTOR]” “start”=dword:00000004
