Configuring which portable devices will be controlled

In GFI EndPointSecurity you can specify which supported portable devices should be controlled or excluded from a protection policy. You can do this on a protection policy by policy basis.

To configure which devices will be controlled by a specific protection policy:

1. Click on the Configuration tab

2. Click Protection Policies

3. From the left pane, select the protection policy to configure

4. Click on the Security sub-node

5. From the left pane, click Edit controlled device categories

Screenshot 54 - Select the device categories to control

6. Select the device categories which will be controlled by the protection policy and click OK

NOTE: Device categories which are not controlled by the protection policy are fully accessible on computers included in the policy.

7. Deploy the protection policy updates on to the computers included in the policy. From the left pane, right-click on the protection policy you configured and select Deployment > Deploy agent(s).

NOTE: You can also use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + D to perform this step.
