Abstract
An enterprise wide data processing system includes at least one watchdog unit and/or software service that is configured to automatically detect an attempt to connect a dynamically connectable and disconnectable peripheral (DCP) such as a USB stick to a watchdog-watched Dynamic Connection-Making Mechanism (DCMM) of the system. The watchdog unit and/or software service is further configured to automatically determine if a type of the attempted connection is in accordance with at least one of a local list of connection permissions and connection rules, and if not to prevent an operatively effective connection to be actually made by way of the watchdog-watched DCMM. The system further includes a remotely modifiable storage storing the at least one of the local list of connection permissions and connection rules.
