USB Security for Employees and Vendors
Stop Malware on Third-Party USB Devices Before It Reaches Sensitive Systems
Give employees and vendors a fast, self-service checkpoint for removable media. TYREX identifies malware and cybersecurity threats before they reach sensitive IT and OT systems.

External USB Devices Create an Unmanaged Trust Boundary
Third-party device management is essential for sites where vendors and employees use removable media to transfer files or perform essential maintenance. Unmanaged devices expose sensitive systems to malicious files or compromised hardware before existing security controls can respond.
Vendor-Owned Hardware
Contractors and service providers may carry USB drives between customer sites or use them with systems outside your control. Your organization cannot verify how each device has been managed, where it has been connected, or whether it was exposed to malware before arrival.
Employee Devices
Personal USB drives fall outside normal asset management and endpoint security policies. Even when employees have legitimate reasons to transfer files, an unverified device can create a direct path between unmanaged equipment and sensitive infrastructure.
Social Engineering
Attackers can make an unknown USB device appear to be part of an established workflow, increasing the likelihood that an employee or contractor will connect it without verification. That decision can expose the system to malicious files or manipulated USB hardware.
Give Employees and Vendors an Easy-to-Use USB Cybersecurity Checkpoint
Insert
Service providers connect USB devices to a TYREX station before they reach your protected infrastructure. The station guides the decontamination process, requiring minimal training.
Scan
Multiple detection technologies analyze the device for malware and cybersecurity threats. The station displays scan results and whether further action is required.
Clean
Threats are quarantined or deleted. The technician can review the outcome before continuing with the maintenance task. Scan results are documented for inspection by security and compliance teams.
Certify
TYREX can issue a time-limited certificate after devices are verified safe. Protected systems with endpoint enforcement can reject media that lacks a valid certificate.
How TYREX Controls Third-Party Removable Media Risk
Self-Service USB Decontamination
Employees and vendors can use a self-service USB scanning kiosk to inspect removable media before connecting it to protected systems.
Multi-Layered Threat Detection
TYREX layers signature-based multiscanning with AI-powered static analysis and optional dynamic analysis that observes suspicious file behavior in an isolated sandbox.
Controlled File Transfers
Media Break and Protocol Break transfer approved files to clean media or remote shares without connecting the original device to protected systems.
Certified USB Enforcement
Workstation Protect Agent blocks uncertified USB devices at protected endpoints, extending station policies to systems that use removable media.
Firmware-Level BadUSB Detection
Detects BadUSB attacks that manipulate device firmware or impersonate trusted peripherals. Conventional file-based antivirus cannot identify these hardware-level threats.
Centralized Policy and Reporting
TYREX Management Server centralizes policies and scan records across connected stations and provides PDF or CSV reporting for security teams.
Address Removable Media Compliance Requirements
TYREX helps organizations turn removable media policies into a repeatable technical control. Decontamination stations can enforce controlled media handling and malware protection while documenting evidence of consistent enforcement.

Combat USB Malware Risk Across Your Organization
Fast Deployment
TYREX is a self-contained USB cybersecurity platform that requires no programming or software installation. Organizations can begin with one station or extend the same secure workflow across multiple sites.
Streamlined Scanning
Automatic scanning modes and touchscreen guidance make each check straightforward. Rapid file analysis helps employees and vendors avoid delays during maintenance or file transfers.
Air-Gap Compatible
Close the USB Security Gap in Employee and Vendor Workflows
A TYREX expert can advise on a deployment that gives employees and vendors a controlled USB security process wherever removable media enters your environment.
Third-Party USB Security FAQ
Do vendors and employees need training to scan USB devices?
TYREX stations use a guided touchscreen workflow that requires no specialist knowledge. Employees and vendors can connect their media and follow the on-screen instructions without assistance from IT or security teams.
How long does a TYREX USB scan take?
Scan time depends on the number and size of files, as well as the enabled analysis methods. TYREX runs multiple antivirus engines simultaneously to reduce delays without sacrificing the depth of inspection.
Does TYREX change or delete files on a USB device?
File modification depends on your USB security policies. Decontamination stations leave legitimate files untouched. When a threat is detected, the station applies your configured security policy, which may quarantine, delete, or alert users to malicious files.
Can TYREX prevent unscanned USB devices from connecting to protected systems?
The optional Workstation Protect Agent is an endpoint agent that can block removable media that lacks a valid digital certificate created by a decontamination station.
What types of removable media can TYREX inspect?
TYREX supports common removable media, including USB flash drives, external hard drives, SD cards, and compatible Android devices. Available connections depend on the decontamination station model and configuration.
