Your data deserves the best security.
According to a Bitkom study*, 9 out of 10 companies in Germany fall victim to data theft, espionage or sabotage. If employees copy sensitive files or access data, this could be a potential data theft.
USB watcher is primarily used to log and document activities on external data storage devices. This can be helpful in identifying potentially suspicious processes, monitoring data loss or unauthorized data transfers and thus uncovering security gaps.
Traceable protocols
Know who, when and which files are copied to external storage devices
USB watcher logs when files are copied to external storage devices. The logs can be stored locally and on an FTP / SFTP server. In addition, USB watcher can send the logs to your syslog server and notify you immediately by email.

Data protection and data security affects every company
Companies have a responsibility to ensure the security of their data, as set out in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). This means that they must take appropriate measures to ensure that their data is protected from unauthorized access, loss or damage.
Although many companies invest in the security of their IT infrastructure, the threat from within often goes unnoticed. USB watcher focuses on potential data theft, in addition to standard measures such as firewalls, group policies and anti-virus software. Protect yourself now and protect your company from internal risks with USB watcher - an innovative software that detects potential data theft and protects your most important asset:
Your know-how.
Features and functions
- Logging of copy processes to external data storage devices
- Automatic upload of the logs to FTP server
- E-mail notification including log as attachment
- Syslog support
- Global configuration and single-user configuration
- Blocking of USB ports
- Configuration is child's play
For external data storage devices, USB sticks and SD cards
Data theft by employees mostly occurs via USB stick. This way, large amounts of data can be copied in a relatively short time. However, Windows operating systems do not log what exactly was copied, but only whether something was copied (if at all). USB watcher, on the other hand, provides you with exactly this information. The copying speed is not affected.
Email notification
If you wish, you can be notified immediately by email as soon as files are copied to external devices. You can specify multiple email recipients if you want to notify different people. To ensure that emails are sent, USB watcher offers a test function that allows you to test the email sending in advance.
A complete protocol is already sent as an attachment in the email as a .csv file.
Syslog: All logs in one place
The syslog function, which is already available as standard, allows all copy logs to be sent to your syslog server. The configuration for this is child's play and is done in a user-friendly way in the program interface.
It is up to you which syslog server you use.
Store logs on FTP and SFTP servers
Automatic live upload of the logs to your FTP server as soon as files have been copied. SFTP is also supported via port 22. The logs are saved as a .csv file and can therefore be easily analyzed and processed further.
We can provide you with an FTP / SFTP server on request.
Disable USB ports with one click
Forget complicated system interventions in the Windows® Registry or device hacks. USB watcher makes your life easier.
With just one click, all USB slots can be easily and permanently deactivated. This means that external USB devices can be connected to the computer at work, but without any function.
