Disabling Mouse acceleration for better control Mac users should get USB Overdrive to disable the mouse acceleration. USB Overdrive is not free, but i don't know about an free alternative and from my research it seems like the best way to do it. But if you share your Mac with others, or frequently use it in a public place, you may wish to temper Spotlight’s reach. Here are three ways to prevent Spotlight from indexing items on your Mac.
This topic shows you how to enable NTFS Write support on a Mac for FREE by some steps. The following solutions works on All MacOS Versions: Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Lion. Basically, what we need to do is adding the NTFS Drive name into the fstab file. Step 1: Figure it out the NTFS Label name. From Finder Window, find out and remember the NAME of the NTFS Volume (USB or External Disk) at the left side. Step 2: Modify the fstab file. Launch Terminal (Found in Applications/Utilities), then enter the following command line.
Sudo nano /etc/fstab. The fstab file then must be called in blank by default. You then enter the following command line. LABEL=NAME none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse Note: The NAME must be replaced by your Drive name found in the step 1. What to do if the Drive NAME contains words that are separated by a space? For example with MAC NTFS WRITE, the spaces will stand for “ 040” (MAC 040NTFS 040WRITE). Press exactly Ctrl + O to save and Ctrl + X to end the Terminal.
After the NTFS Drive is unmounted (you take it off), then plug it into the mac again in the next time, the Volume no longer exists at the left pane side any more. To find it, From Finder window, click on Go (on the top menu), then choose Go to Folder, then enter the /Volumes. The NTFS partition must appears then, and you are able to write the Data into it. I hope all the above would help. Powered by, best viewed with JavaScript enabled.
Coming back from vacation, I saw this recent article in the New York Times on the recent theft of classified military data.
In this case, the person simply bypassed the restrictions on USB ports and simply copied the data to a writeable CD/DVD drive. According to the report:
According to Pentagon officials and one former hacker who has communicated with Private Manning, he appears to have taken compact discs that can accept text, video and other data files into an intelligence center in the desert of eastern Iraq to copy and remove the classified information.
There are two takeaways for your organization from this story.
First, if you are relying solely on blocking USB flash drives to prevent the theft of sensitive data, your security controls are woefully inadequate. I’d call this type of coarse and crude control “security theatre” – security controls that look like you are doing something when in reality, the risk hasn’t really changed. The truly determined bad guy will easily find another way to get data off of the machine.
This is one of my major criticisms with the USB port control capabilities built into Windows 7. In this research note for clients Planning for the Security Features of Windows 7, I describe in detail the pros and cons of the 15 or so security capabilities built into Windows 7, including the USB port control capabilities. In this section of the research note, I state:

For organizations truly concerned with data loss prevention, there are many points of ingress and egress from a machine, in addition to USB-based devices, so USB device control alone is insufficient to achieve their broader data loss prevention goals.
Most notably, CD/DVD drives, but also wireless, Bluetooth, general packet radio service, third-generation modems, infrared, parallel ports, serial ports, Firewire and so on need to be controlled. Competitive offerings on the market provide general device control policy enforcement that handles most of these scenarios.
Second, there is a broader issue at work here. Suppose we go ahead and block all USB usage, all writeable CD/DVD usage, all bluetooth devices, etc etc. Simple binary “block everything” policies on all removable media end up interfering with the 99.9% of our workers that are trying to do the right thing and get their job done. The issue isn’t whether or not someone is allowed to use a USB port or writeable CD/DVD drive, the issue is whether or not the user is able to copy sensitive data off of the machine using any method. I stated this in a blog post months ago. The real issue is the loss of the sensitive information, not the use of the USB/CD/DVD capabilities of the machine. Blocking usage of these devices is a coarse, crude means to an end, but it is not the end itself.
The real issue to address is the loss of sensitive information. That’s the problem that content-aware DLP offerings are designed to address.
