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…
Every day, organisations rely on USB devices to move data between systems, suppliers, and secure networks. Yet, these same devices are a proven attack vector for malware. Research shows that almost a third of infections originate from removable media. Enterprise USB security provides a controlled gateway, scanning and sanitising files before they reach sensitive environments. For critical infrastructure, finance, or defence, this is more than convenience — it is essential protection.
Protect Your Enterprise From USB-Borne Threats
Why USB Security Matters For Enterprise Networks
Large organisations often operate air-gapped or isolated systems where internet-based protections do not apply. In these environments, the only path in may be a contractor’s USB drive or an engineer’s external disk. Without robust scanning, malware can bypass traditional defences, leading to downtime, data breaches, or compliance failures. Enterprise USB security reduces these risks by enforcing safe data entry points, ensuring that every file crossing into the secure side is thoroughly inspected.
Key challenges enterprises face
Rising use of removable media in industrial and defence workflows
Lack of visibility over contractor devices and third-party data sources
Regulatory pressure to comply with standards like Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and NIS regulations
Trusted by over 30,000 Partners
Hardware-Enforced Protection You Can Trust
Unlike software-only solutions, enterprise USB security works through dedicated hardware stations. These devices provide an isolated scanning environment that malware cannot manipulate. By using multiple antivirus and anti-malware engines in parallel, they catch both known and emerging threats, giving enterprises confidence that no unchecked device enters their network.
Core benefits include:
- Multi-layered scanning: five antivirus engines plus two heuristic tools to identify both known and unknown threats.
- Offline capability: fully operational in air-gapped or isolated networks.
- Audit trail and compliance: detailed logs for reporting, investigations, and regulatory audits.
- Ease of use: plug in, scan, and go — no technical training required.
This combination of enterprise malware protection and user-friendly design makes deployment scalable across departments, remote sites, or global operations.
Trusted Globally
Authority Backed By Experience
Enterprise-grade protection is built on proven deployment in some of the world’s most demanding environments. From critical infrastructure to Fortune 200 enterprises, secure USB stations have been trusted for years to protect sensitive data flows. This track record shows that hardware-enforced scanning is not an emerging concept — it is a tested safeguard that enterprises can rely on today.

Enterprise USB Security In Practice
Consider a manufacturing site where production systems are separated from corporate IT. Engineers frequently install updates or transfer data via USB devices. A single unchecked drive could cause downtime costing millions in lost output. With enterprise USB security stations at the entry point, every device is scanned before use, blocking hidden malware and preventing disruption.
In healthcare, removable media is often needed for imaging data or lab results. Enterprise USB security ensures that sensitive patient information can move safely between networks without risking breaches.
Defence agencies use the same approach to protect classified networks, scanning contractor and visitor devices before they cross into secure facilities. These real-world scenarios highlight how universal the need is across industries handling high-value or sensitive data.
Do You Need Enterprise USB Security?
Ask yourself:
Do contractors or suppliers bring data into your network on removable drives?
Do you operate air-gapped or industrial systems where USB is the main data channel?
Would a malware outbreak cause downtime, compliance breaches, or reputational damage?
If the answer is yes to any of these, enterprise USB security is a necessity, not a luxury.
Compliance
And Peace Of Mind
Stay Secure
Enterprises are increasingly judged on their ability to protect sensitive systems. Auditors expect evidence of strong removable media controls, and regulators mandate it under multiple frameworks. Implementing enterprise USB security demonstrates compliance, reduces liability, and provides peace of mind across your workforce.
With simple deployment options — from portable stations to wall-mounted units — enterprises can scale protection across multiple sites without complexity.
