Restricting USB Functions
USB is a convenient way of connecting peripheral devices and storing or relocating data, but USB can also be a source of information leakage if it is not properly managed. Be especially careful when handling USB memory devices. This section describes how to restrict connection via the USB port of the machine and how to prohibit use of USB memory devices.

You can disable the USB port located on the back side of the machine. If this port is disabled, the machine cannot communicate with a computer via USB (Connecting to a Computer). This setting does not affect the front USB port, which is for attaching USB memory devices.
