◎ Activity record
Make removable storage
a deliberate choice.
USB storage can be essential to operations. It can also become an untracked path for business information. Give administrators the controls to make access intentional.
Read-only workflows
Support reading removable media while restricting writes. Validate device types and Windows behaviour in your environment.
File-activity visibility
When enabled, record names of files written to USB storage to help administrators understand removable-media activity.
FROM EVALUATION TO ROLLOUT
Start focused.
Build with confidence.
01
List operational USB requirements and device types.
02
Choose access or read-only rules for the pilot group.
03
Test actual removable devices on representative PCs.
04
Review file records and policy results before rollout.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Read-only policies support this scenario on Windows. Test your exact devices and configuration during the pilot.
Is encrypted-only USB access included?+
Encrypted-only USB enforcement is not offered as a verified current capability. Discuss supported access and read-only policies with the team.
