Popular devices like USB flash drives, CD/DVD readers, image devices and Bluetooth devices can become an entry point for infections.
The device control settings allow you to configure the device control protection for the profile you are creating. Select the device or devices you want to authorize and assign a usage level to them.
Different notifications will be displayed depending on the device detected.
If the protection detects that a user connects a device that is not allowed according to the security profile applied to their computer, a warning will be displayed informing them that they do not have permission to access it.
The connected device will appear in the My Computer directory, but a warning message will be displayed if the user double-clicks it. The warning message will indicate that the user does not have permission to access it.
In the Edit profile window, select Profiles / Device control.
Select the Enable device control checkbox.
In the relevant menu, select the authorization level for each device type.
In the case of USB flash drives and CD/DVD drives you can choose between Block, Allow read access or Allow read & write access. In the case of Bluetooth, image devices and USB modems, the available options are Allow and Block.
Click OK to save your device control settings.
