Hello Everyone,

I have a small office (< 5 staff) and one of my employee will soon leave the firm. He is a developer (.net) and uses a normal Windows 7 PC. His system uses a wireless card to connect to a router for network and internet access.

Now I don't want him to take away files, documents etc from his system to his email or usb. Is there a software that can restrict access in such a way that selected usb ports and access to network (to and fro) is disabled. Only selected apps can access the network/internet. Basically I don't want him to take away files from his system. I don't want other systems which can access his pc to copy files as well.

Please advice if such a thing is possible.

Thank you,

Cheers,
Jack

You can lock some (usb ports) of that down using the group policy editor depending on the version of win 7 you have. Short of that, make sure he doesn't have admin access to his pc or any other and just set permissions on folders you don't want him to have acess to. The only way to block specific software from the internet is to know which ports it runs on and set up rules in your router/firewall to block those ports from his machine's IP address.

Normally, you should define what an employee can and can't take with them when they leave the company during your employee hiring process. Ours is part of our employee contract.
