The invention relates to an electronic USB security device (20), comprising:a plug (13) capable of interfacing the electronic USB security device (20) with a USB jack (31) of a host device (30), having at least one locking tooth (8) shaped to lock inside a shielding tab hole (34) of said USB jack (31), thus locking the electronic USB security device (20) to said host device (30); and a solenoid (24) capable of enabling and disabling the locking of said at least one locking tooth (8) to said shielding tab hole (34) of said USB jack (31). USB ports present risk of data leak from computers. The invention provides an electromechanical USB port protection device capable to mechanically block unused USB ports, thus preventing the connection of any USB device to that port. Removal of the device requires electrically energizing the lock using for example a security code. Security software provides scalable and secure centralized keys management. The device provides clear and continuous user visual indications when device is secure. A device derivative secures USB cable to the computer USB port. Another device derivative filters and secures a connected user peripheral device, for example a USB locking device that only allows a connection of USB mouse or keyboard.
