USBQuarantine

USBQuarantine is a desktop app (Windows/macOS) for IT admins and security-conscious teams to control what peripherals can connect to company machines. Instead of relying on messy group policies and inconsistent endpoint settings, it provides a clear allowlist/denylist workflow for USB classes and specific device IDs, plus a “quarantine mode” for unknown devices. When a new keyboard, storage device, or USB network adapter is plugged in, the app blocks it by default, logs the event, and prompts for admin approval with context (device fingerprint, first-seen time, user, port). It also generates audit-ready reports for compliance and incident response. This is not magic: it won’t stop every attack, and sophisticated hardware implants can evade detection. But it will dramatically reduce the most common, preventable peripheral-based incidents and the chaos of unmanaged device sprawl.
