Abstract

The present invention provides an external terminal protection device and a corresponding protection system, the external terminal protection device including: an interface control module, used for providing an internal interface and an external interface, the internal interface being connected to a corresponding interface of a protected host, and the external interface being configured to access one or more external devices; and a system control module, used for connecting the interface control module, and controlling security authentication of the external devices accessed to the one or more external interfaces on the interface control module, so as to determine whether the external devices are licensed access devices. The present invention can protect the security of the protected host without installing security protection software on the protected host, thereby greatly reducing system security risks, and comprehensively eliminating the potential security hazards that may be generated by the interfaces.
