External Devices Control Settings

• Lets you to define a list of devices that should be blocked on endpoints using this profile.

For example, you can block access to USB storage devices, human interface devices, Bluetooth devices, infrared devices, IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

• Xcitium blocks access to devices connected through both serial and parallel ports and creates a log of their connection activities.
  

• You can create exclusions for external devices which you want to allow to connect to managed endpoints. Devices can be added as exclusion by specifying their Device Ids. You can use wildcard characters in the device ID if you want to include a series of devices with similar device IDs.

Configure External Devices Control Settings

• Click 'Assets' > 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
  

• Open the Windows profile you want to work on

• Click the 'External Devices Control' tab then 'Edit', if it has already been added to the profile

OR

• Click 'Add Profile Section' > 'External Devices Control' if it hasn't yet been added

• Enable Device Control - Enable or disable the external device control feature. This is useful if you want to configure external device control settings for a profile during its creation and enable it at a later time.
  

• Log detected devices - Enable or disable logging of external device connection attempts on endpoints that use this profile. The logs can be viewed from 'Security Sub Systems' > 'Device Control' interface. See View History of External Device Connection Attempts for more details.
  

• Show notifications when devices disabled or enabled - Select whether or not a notification is to be shown to end-user when a connected device is blocked or allowed.

The 'External Devices Control' settings interface contains two tabs:

• Blocked Device Classes - Define the list of types of external devices to be blocked at the endpoints
  

• Exclusions - Specify the devices that should be excluded from blocking and allowed access at the endpoints

Blocked Device Classes

The 'Blocked Device Classes' tab displays a list of types of device that are blocked as per the profile and allows you to add/remove new device types.

Blocked Device Classes - Column Descriptions
Column Header	Description
Device Class	The device type as per global hardware classification
Class ID	The Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) of the device class

Tip. Block 'Portable Devices' in addition to 'USB storage devices' if you want to stop users connecting their phones to access the phone's memory card

Add device types to be blocked

• Click 'Add' at the top of the list

The 'Add Device Class' dialog appears with a list of device types.

• Select the device types to be added to the block list and click 'Ok'.
  

• Repeat the process to add more device types.

Remove a device type from the list

• Select the device type from the list and click 'Delete'

• Click 'Confirm' to remove the device type from the blocked list.

Exclusions

The 'Exclusions' tab displays a list of external devices that are exempt from the block rule and so allowed access to the endpoint(s).

Exclusions - Column Descriptions
Column Header	Description
Device Custom Name	Displays the name of the device.
Device ID	Displays the unique device identifier of the device.
