These devices can easily be infected with malware and then transferred to another computer or network. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2767\">Unauthorized media can also be used for insider attacks, which is the deliberate placement of malware on corporate systems. Many organizations do not have adequate policies in place to control USB devices, allowing threats to infiltrate networks without IT administrators&#8217; knowledge. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2769\" data-end=\"3138\">Hackers often use techniques known as <strong data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2831\">USB drop attacks<\/strong>, which involve leaving infected flash drives in public places with the hope that someone will plug them into a company computer. That&#8217;s why organizations should use preventive technologies such as <strong data-start=\"3048\" data-end=\"3106\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ramsdata.com.pl\/opswat\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"3050\" data-end=\"3104\">Opswat MetaDefender<\/a><\/strong>, to prevent such attacks. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3140\" data-end=\"3179\"><strong data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3177\">What is Opswat MetaDefender?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3504\"><strong data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3239\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ramsdata.com.pl\/opswat\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"3183\" data-end=\"3237\">Opswat MetaDefender<\/a><\/strong> is an advanced security platform that allows organizations to analyze and disinfect files even before they are opened.
