In a company, the IT department may decide to disable a particular type of connection port to prevent unauthorized data transfer. What BIOS/UEFI setting could be used to prevent usage of flash drives at a workstation?
Disabling USB ports through the BIOS/UEFI is a security measure that can be put in place to prevent unauthorized use of USB devices such as flash drives. This helps in maintaining the security of the system by inhibiting the transfer of data to and from unauthorized removable storage devices.
Alternatively, while Disabling SATA ports and Network Boot restrictions have security purposes in their domains, they are unrelated to USB device management. LAN/WLAN Switching pertains to network interface card behavior between ethernet and wireless connections and does not provide direct USB data transfer preventive measures.
