Tresys Technology, Columbia, Md., a provider of technology and services for customers with high security requirements, has announced successful development of a security solution for the recent threat to critical government information systems posed by ‘dirty’ USB devices.

The widespread and complex threat resulted in USB devices being banned by many government organizations. In response to the threat, Tresys rapidly customized and delivered a ruggedized, laptop-based Kiosk appliance built on open source software to mitigate that threat and make USB devices safe for use, even in very sensitive applications and locations.
