Device Control
Device control is the possibility to prevent data loss. Device Control prevents remov-able media, optical drives and wireless network protocols from being accessed. This security method can prevent malware from spreading further on the target device (e.g. a computer) via a USB stick, for example. In many companies, device control is part of the security strategy, so that, for example, only certain removable media can be connected to a target device. It is even possible to filter the file types. This means that only certain file types can be transferred to the target device.
