REMOVABLE STORAGE MEDIA CONTROL APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DATA LEAKAGE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A device and method for controlling a removable storage medium to prevent data leakage are provided. The device includes a storage medium determination unit, a storage medium policy acquisition unit, and a storage medium control unit. The storage medium determination unit determines whether a connected storage medium is a removable storage medium. If the storage medium is the removable storage medium, the storage medium policy acquisition unit acquires hierarchical storage medium policies having a hierarchical structure for the storage medium. The storage medium control unit controls the storage medium by switching between a storage medium connection state and a storage medium usage state using the acquired hierarchical storage medium policies.

1. A removable storage media control apparatus for preventing data leakage, comprising:
a storage medium determination unit configured to determine whether a connected storage medium is a removable storage medium; a storage medium policy acquisition unit configured to, if the storage medium is the removable storage medium, acquire hierarchical storage medium policies having a hierarchical structure for the storage medium; and a storage medium control unit configured to control the storage medium by switching a storage medium connection state and a storage medium usage state using the acquired hierarchical storage medium policies, wherein the hierarchical storage medium policies comprise: a first storage medium policy for switching the storage medium connection state to any one of a connection-approved state and a connection-blocked state depending on whether ID of the storage medium corresponds to any one of approved storage medium IDs and blocked storage medium IDs; and a second storage medium policy for switching the storage medium usage state to any one of a write-approved state, a read-approved state and a use-blocked state depending on whether ID of a computer that is attempting approaching to storage medium corresponds to any one of reading computer IDs and writing computer IDs if the storage medium connection state is the connection-approved state.
