Replacing Desktop Authority USB lockdown

Hi All,

Desktop Authority has just been unusable for the better part of a year for us, we've got developers looking into the issues but its just taking to long to fix.

The only part of DA we currently use anyway is the usb port security it works well as we can white list a bunch of devices such as dictaphones and also unlock the software with a password whenever it is needed which is essential to our business needs.

Is there anything lightweight out there that can do just this? I've been looking and found a few things but a lot of stuff seems to be part of some bigger management system which we don't need, we just want a simple usb lockdown solution with a way to disable it on the fly.

Thanks!
