For information security purposes, it is necessary to disallow your staff from using USB drive within the office area. The best way to stop your staff from using USB drive is to disable the USB ports.

Is there any way to disable the USB ports on a Mac?

How to disable USB ports

  • Log on with an administrator account
  • Goto /System/Library/Extensions/ from your system disk
  • remove IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/ or
  • Rename the file name from terminal sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext / IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext.backup
  • Reboot the machine.

Now you can try to plug in your USB drive to your USB port. Your USB port should not response your UBS drive.

Just try it :-)
