I have a long-term solution - not just for this problem but for his company in general.
Instead of restricting what's coming in, they should be blocking USB access to their own systems with something like Mcafee DLP. It can be configured for certain devices but block other devices.
The problem is that this company is always going to be behind the ball, given tech advancements. Cellphones, USB thumb drives, portable drives, DAP's, ereaders - it's never going to end and they will be constantly dealing with this issue. I recently saw a watch with a USB port built-in -- how are they going to catch that? Or a USB thumb drive pen as another example. Block USB at the system level and they'd have some control, at least.
