If I'm understanding you properly, you're wanting to prevent people from inserting a USB stick. In Red Hat (and most linux distros) you do this by adding the usb storage kernel module to the modprobe blacklist. Preventing that module from loading prevents automounts and manual mounts from being able to successfully complete, effectively killing off USB storage on that computer.

If you have a paid subscription the process is documented here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/18978

But the process is basically to add "blacklist usbstorage" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot.
