Ransomware in the Workplace: What to Do?
Ransomware attacks are increasing in the UK and no organisation is immune, regardless of size or sector. So how can you reduce the chances of being hit? Tyrex shares some…
Stay Secure
Secure Your Devices and Defend Your Organisation from Threats.
USB devices, by their very nature, are designed for portability and ease of use, making them indispensable for transferring files, performing updates, and managing systems, especially in air-gapped or remote environments. However, this convenience comes with inherent risks:
Malware Introduction
USB drives can carry a wide array of malicious software, from viruses and ransomware to sophisticated spyware. This is where dedicated USB protection hardware becomes essential.
Insider Threats
Whether malicious or unintentional, employees using unauthorised or unverified USBs can introduce threats or exfiltrate sensitive data.
Targeted Attacks
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) can leverage USBs to infiltrate even the most secure, air-gapped networks, as famously demonstrated by incidents like Stuxnet.

Advanced USB Protection with White Stations
Tyrex (formerly KUB Cleaner) specialises in providing military-grade USB protection through dedicated hardware decontamination stations, often referred to as “white stations” (from the French “stations blanches”) or, particularly in UK defence circles, “sheep dip” cyber security stations. These stations act as a secure gateway, ensuring that all removable media is thoroughly scanned, sanitised, and verified before it can connect to your secure network infrastructure.
Our mission is singular: to stop USB-borne threats. We dedicate 100% of our research, development, and expertise to solving the removable media problem, offering a level of specialisation that broader cybersecurity firms cannot match.

A comprehensive decontamination solution for removable devices
Tyrex systems provide a critical checkpoint, a “digital bouncer” at the front door of your network, to inspect and cleanse all incoming USB devices:
Insertion
The user inserts the USB drive into the Tyrex station.
Threat Neutralisation
If malware is detected, Tyrex stations can be configured to neutralise the threat, quarantine infected files, or securely erase the drive's content.
Safe Usage
Once a device is certified clean by the Tyrex station, it can be safely used within the secure network environment.
This process occurs within a hardened, isolated hardware environment, ensuring that malware cannot bypass the scanning process or infect the station itself—a significant advantage over software-only solutions that run on potentially vulnerable host computers.

Who Benefits from Tyrex “Sheep Dip” Cyber Security?
Don’t let removable media be the Achilles’ heel of your cybersecurity posture. Tyrex USB protection solutions provide a robust, reliable, and user-friendly way to mitigate the risks associated with USB drives and other portable storage. By implementing our “white stations” or “sheep dip” cybersecurity kiosks, you add a critical layer of defence, ensuring that only clean, verified devices can access your valuable systems and data.
Defence and Government
Protecting classified networks and ensuring secure data transfer between different security domains. The term “sheep dip” is often used in this sector to describe USB scanning kiosks.
Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
Safeguarding industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA environments, and operational technology (OT) in sectors like energy, water, and transportation from cyber-physical attacks initiated via USB.
Industrial Manufacturing
