Hey guys, first time here. Hoping someone can help me out.
The company I work for in their IT department is about to issue some software to all desktops that will prevent employees from inserting and using USB thumb drives. The idea is to add another way to prevent employees from taking any company/client info. Great idea, but it provides my IT team with a problem... with this new software, it causes an issue for us as we can not transfer needed files to repair stations off of our USB drives.
My idea is to find some way to spoof our USB drives so that Windows detects them as a DVD or CD drive, which in theory would bypass the security software. The goal is to not have to install any additional software on the client computers, like daemon tools, etc. We're looking for a plug-and-go option.
Note: before anyone asks, yes, the software may have an option for an admin account to allow a connected USB drive to be used, but we are unsure right now, and we want to be prepared just in case.
