G DATA 365 | MXDR

Controlling the utilization of external devices

Time and again, malware gets onto systems through the improper use of external devices, even if these systems are otherwise well protected against external attacks.
This is where G DATA | 365 Policy Control steps in to provide centralized access management and thus control over the use of external devices on the endpoints in your network. This can also prevent sensitive data from being leaked and stored on external devices unauthorized.

Product informationen

G DATA Device Control offers the options for access control of the following external device classes within the G DATA Web Portal:

  • Removable media → e.g. USB sticks, USB hard disks etc.

  • Optical drives → e.g. DVD or BluRay drives.

  • Floppy disk drives → no longer widely used, but still a potential attack vector.

  • Windows Portable Devices (WPDs) → e.g. smartphones or digital cameras with SD card.

  • Webcams → independent of the connection type.

Global Permissions

You have via the view "Device Control" the possibility to set global rules for devices from the listed device classes, as well as create exceptions on a global or endpoint scale.
