USB and Removable Media Decontamination
Neutralize USB Security Threats Before They Compromise Your Infrastructure
Organizations depend on the portability and convenience of removable media, yet every update, every transfer, every USB device that connects to your systems can carry viruses and malware. TYREX Decontamination Stations eliminate USB threats before they reach your network.
Trusted by 350+ organizations worldwide across energy, manufacturing, maritime, aerospace, and government.
USB Is Your Biggest Security Blind Spot
Removable media accounts for 30% of virus and malware infections, according to some studies, leaving your network exposed every time an employee or vendor connects an unscanned device.
Virus Propagation
USB devices spread viruses, ransomware, and spyware across networks. A single compromised drive can infect multiple machines, including air-gapped systems.
Advanced Persistent Threats
USB devices install persistent threats that remain hidden for months, establishing backdoor access to quietly steal data and monitor communications.
Social Engineering
People connect 48% of found USB drives without checking them, a statistic that bad actors exploit to compromise otherwise secure networks.
Organizations Secure Their Networks But Overlook The USB Port
Every day, removable drives move freely between systems that were built to be isolated. These devices carry software updates, diagnostic files, and data transfers that keep operations running.
Yet each one can also carry hidden malware capable of spreading through critical systems in seconds. Traditional defenses like firewalls don’t see physical attacks coming because they guard the network’s edge, not endpoints inside your secure network.
What feels like a simple maintenance task can become the start of a full-scale shutdown.
Vulnerability Hides in Plain Sight
- A technician updates software with a flash drive.
- A contractor connects a laptop to run diagnostics.
- A supplier delivers a patch on removable media.
- An engineer transfers data between air-gapped networks.
- A crew member exchanges drives between vessels or industrial sites.
Scan and Clean Every USB Device Before It Connects
TYREX Decontamination Stations inspect and clean USB devices before they connect to your network. Each file and partition is scanned with multiple antivirus and antimalware engines, as well as AI-powered behavioural analysis to identify firmware-level threats like BadUSB. TYREX Stations can quarantine infected files or delete them with military-grade wiping techniques. Your legitimate files are untouched.
In most cases, the process takes less than one minute, so employees and vendors can work without disruption. What was once a silent vulnerability becomes a controlled, verifiable step in secure operations.
Insert the Device
Technicians or engineers plug a USB device into the TYREX station before connecting it to your secure networks.
Fast Decontamination
In moments, the device is analyzed and cleaned. A clear visual result shows when it is safe to use.
Connect Securely
The verified drive can now be used safely in critical systems, keeping operations continuous and compliant.
Proven USB Protection in Real Environments
More than 5,000 active stations and hundreds of organizations worldwide rely on this system every day to keep removable media clean and verified. Multiple antivirus and anti-malware engines work together to detect, remove, and prevent threats before they reach critical networks.
USB Security is Key to Cybersecurity Compliance
USB decontamination helps organizations meet requirements in U.S. and international cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and IMO 2021 Cyber Risk Management guidelines. TYREX USB security can also support CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 compliance for Department of Defense contractors.

For an additional layer of security, USB decontamination stations can install digital certificates on decontaminated devices. When used in conjunction with the optional TYREX Workstation Protect Agent, endpoints are blocked from accessing files on uncertified devices.
SIEM Integration
Export real-time logs and security events to your SIEM platform. Integrate USB security data with your broader security operations for centralized monitoring, threat correlation, and incident response.
Secure File Transfer
Transfer files from scanned devices directly to network shares via NFS, SAMBA, or SFTP after decontamination. Move data securely without connecting potentially compromised devices to your network.
Cyberdefense FAQs
Isn’t my existing EDR already protecting against USB threats?
EDR’s main objective is to monitor networks and analyze attacks in depth. Malware on USB drives often strikes before the EDR analysis is completed. The TYREX Stations are an immediate response and add prevention at the physical entry point, closing the last open door in your defenses.
Will this interrupt daily operations or slow down maintenance work?
No. Scans generally take less than one minute. They run completely offline and fit naturally into existing maintenance routines. Teams keep their pace, and security stays constant.
Does this require complex installation or technical support?
Setup is simple. Stations are plug and play, and TYREX provides guidance and remote support to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one.
Do we have to connect it to our network?
No. Stations can operate completely offline, ensuring full isolation and compliance in air-gapped or sensitive environments.
Is it compliant with international cybersecurity standards?
Yes. The system aligns with NIST, ISO, and IMO 2021 standards, meeting government and industry recommendations for removable media sanitization.
