G DATA 365 | MXDR

In the Device Logging section, you can view extensive logs of interactions of individual external devices.

For this purpose, a list is displayed showing all interactions that have been performed by external devices from the supported device classes on all managed endpoints. The entries can be sorted alphanumerically in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column description. There is also a search field that you can use to find specific interactions.

By clicking an entry from the list, all information on the respective interaction can be displayed in a detailed window.

Here you can enter any information in a text field about the device involved, as well as create an exception specifically for the device.

In certain cases, it can be useful to set up exceptions to global rules for certain devices. With G DATA Device Control it is possible, to allow the use of specific external devices contrary to the global rules. This can be defined either globally or for specific endpoints.

A list of all exceptions that have been created is displayed in the Exceptions area. The entries can be sorted by clicking on the column description in descending or ascending alphanumeric order. There is also a search field, so you can search for a specific exception if there is a large quantity of exceptions.

To create an exception, click . An input mask opens in which the data for the exception to be created can be entered.

All fields within the input mask are mandatory to clearly identify the device for which an exception is to be created. Additionally, you have to select whether the exception should be created globally or for a specific endpoint, and whether read-only or full access is granted.
Immediately after creating a new exception, it is displayed in the list.

Exceptions can be deleted or edited using the buttons in the action column. The edit mask is the same as the mask for creating an exception.

In the Global Access Rights section, you can configure which global rules apply to five classes of external devices:

There are three different access rights that can be assigned to a device class, Allowed, Blocked and Read only.

In the Device Notification section, you can configure the message that is displayed to users when they try to use a blocked external device on an endpoint.

You can enter the exact text in both German and English in the text fields provided. This is then displayed to the user instead of the preset texts. You can also enter a link including link name, to give the user an easy way to communicate with your IT or ticket system and have the external device activated quickly.
