Abstract
The present invention discloses methods for protecting a host system from information-security risks posed by a URD, the method including the steps of: operationally connecting the URD to the host system; communicating, between the URD and the host system, via a network protocol, through a firewall residing in the host system; and configuring said firewall to provide security measures related to the URD. Preferably, the firewall is a software firewall or a hardware firewall. A method for protecting a host system from information-security risks posed by a URD, the method including the steps of: operationally connecting the URD to the host system; communicating, between the URD and the host system, via a network protocol, through a firewall residing in the host system; and configuring said firewall to restrict access of at least one application to the URD. Preferably, the firewall is a software firewall or a hardware firewall.
