Abstract
A method for securing personal computing devices from unauthorized data copying and removal includes detecting an attachment of a device to a client included within a computing network; determining whether the detected attached device is permitted to be attached to the client; prompting a user of the client to remove the attached device therefrom in the event the detected attached device is not permitted to be attached to the client; and loading a replacement device driver onto the client in the event the attached device has not been removed, wherein the replacement device driver prevents the client from copying data to the attached device.
