Allow only authorized USB

Is it possible to create a policy where they can only be recognized and allow access to particular USBs?

Yes, absolutely. That‘s what we are using.

Hi @Danny, thank you for your answer.

Would you be kind enough to tell me how to recognize only certain USB and block the rest? 🙂

tried to create a new device (manually configured) and identify it by the "Device Serial Number" , but the endpoint cannot recognize it in any way

Have you tried adding it based on the detected devices in the logs?

Use Automatic Device Discovery.

Also use the latest E82.00 client versions (Windows / Mac).

Hi RPD, yes, I tried.

The funny thing is that in the records indicated in "Discovered Devices" shows a different "Device Serial Number" (in all cases add &0 to the end of the serial of the USB device). But despite adding the "Device Serial Number" detected in the logs, it does not recognize it.

However, as @Danny mentioned, it works with the "Automatic Device Discovery", where the only difference is that this option also discover the "Device ID begins with" info.

I would think it should work without this "Device ID Begins with" data and just recognize the "Device Serial Number" (the real one or with the &0 in the end), but despite trying many times I did not succeed.
