Abstract:
1. A data processing system for securing information transfer from a removable media, comprising: a security server; and a plurality of networked devices, each comprising: a first operating system arranged to operate the networked device; a second operating system arranged to communicate with the security server over a secure communication link; an I/O port arranged to allow connecting the removable device thereto, wherein the networked device is arranged to communicate with the removable device via the second operating system responsive to the connection of the removable device to the I/O port, while the first operating system is disabled from communicating with the I/O port, wherein the second operating system is arranged to receive the information from the removable media via the I/O port and send the information to the security server, and wherein the security server is arranged to apply on the sent information a plurality of operations relating to information security and in reference to predefined security criteria, such that the information is secure for use in the networked devices, and wherein the security server is arranged to receive information from the first operating system of at least one of the networked devices, to apply a plurality of data security operations thereupon, thereby generating a secure version thereof, and to send the secure version to the removable media via the second operating system of the corresponding networked device.
