USB Allow-List Software for Windows

Use GiliSoft USB Lock as USB allow-list software when you need approved devices to keep working while unknown removable media stays blocked on office and shared PCs.

What USB Allow-List Software Should Do

  • Let approved company USB devices stay usable for daily work.
  • Block unknown flash drives, external disks, and removable storage by default.
  • Support trusted-device policy on shared, business, and front-desk PCs.
  • Keep USB restrictions practical without forcing encryption on every workflow.

How to Use an Allow List for USB Devices

1. Install and open GiliSoft USB Lock on the Windows PC you want to protect.

2. Enable USB storage restrictions so unknown devices are blocked.

3. Add approved company drives and hardware to the trusted-device allow list.

4. Review blocked behavior and update the list when your approved hardware changes.
