Invoerapparatuur-accessoire LogiLink AU0045

The LogiLink AU0045 is a compact blue USB port lock designed to physically block access to a computer's USB ports. It provides a simple hardware-level way to prevent unauthorized connection of USB mass storage devices such as pen drives or MP3 players, helping to reduce the risk of data leakage and the introduction of malware. The device is durable and suitable for use in both office and home environments where controlled USB access is required.

Advantages

The USB lock is easy to install and does not require software or configuration, making it suitable for environments where quick, low-maintenance protection is needed. Its physical design is unobtrusive and durable, and the blue colour allows for easy identification. Being a hardware solution, it blocks ports independent of the operating system and user permissions.
