USB Device Server with Security Features

USB Server Gigabit 2.0

Secure USB Sharing

The Gigabit USB server from W&T not only integrates USB devices into your IT or OT network easily and reliably. Now it also has security functions that reliably protect data traffic without much effort.

USB Server: New Feature – WireGuard VPN

Cyber security in USB sharing

USB Device Servers allow you to share USB devices without them being physically connected to a PC. Any USB device can be accessed via USB deflection as if it were directly connected. Various security features enable particularly secure operation.

VPN by WireGuard

If required, USB connections can be implemented via VPN (Wireguard). Due to the encrypted VPN tunnel, the communication between the USB server and the USB deflection is then no longer visible from the outside. The USB servers can be configured as a VPN client or server. Compared to other VPN protocols such as OpenVPN or IPSec, Wireguard is known for its high speed and ease of implementation.

 

Configuring a USB server as a VPN client

    1. Have a config file generated by a WireGuard server (e.g. Fritzbox, Cloud, etc.)
    2. Activate client mode on the web interface of the USB server & upload configuration
    3. Save, done!

Benefits of WireGuard

    • Free and open source

    • fast

    • Easy to configure

    • supported by Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS

Device & User Sharing

With the new sharing options for devices and users, USB devices can be assigned to individually created users. This ensures that only those users who are authorized to use the resource can access a USB device. In addition to an increased level of security, it is also ensured that USB devices are not blocked by unauthorized use (because USB access is always exclusive, i.e. never possible for more than one user at a time).

IP Firewall

An IP firewall integrated into the USB server defines which computers are allowed to access the USB server. The firewall can contain explicit permission rules as a whitelist (which will then block any other communication attempts) or specify which communication should be blocked as a blacklist.

Encryption

Communication between the USB Port Redirector and the USB server can now be PSK encrypted . Access to the device’s configuration web pages can also be protected via HTTPS .

USB Server: Easy commissioning & configuration

    1. Install new firmware and redirection

    2. Set up optional security features (activate encryption, create user permissions or firewall rules)

    3. …complete!

      • Integrate USB devices easily and reliably into the network

      • Protection against eavesdropping and unauthorized access

      • for high security requirements in industrial environments
