4.1.3.2 Adding Device control rules

A Device control rule defines the action that will be taken when a device meeting the rule criteria is connected to the

computer.

Enter a description of the rule into the Name field for better identification. Selecting the check box next to Enabled

disables or enables this rule; this can be useful if you don't wish to delete the rule permanently.

Device type

Choose the external device type from the drop-down menu (USB/Bluetooth/FireWire/...). The types of devices are

inherited from the operating system and can be seen in the system Device manager providing a device is connected to

the computer. The Optical storage device type in the drop-down menu refers to the storage of data on an optically

readable medium (e.g. CDs, DVDs). Storage devices cover external disks or conventional memory card readers

connected via USB or FireWire. Examples of imaging devices are scanners or cameras. Smart card readers encompass

readers of smart cards with an embedded integrated circuit, such as SIM cards or authentication cards.

Rights

Access to non-storage devices can be either allowed or blocked. By contrast, rules for storage devices allow for

selecting one of the following rights:

Block – Access to the device will be blocked.

Read Only – Only reading from the device will be allowed.

Read/Write – Full access to the device will be allowed.

Note that not all rights (actions) are available for all device types. If a device has storage space, all three actions are

made available. For non-storage devices, there are only two (e.g. Read Only action is not available for Bluetooth, so it

means that device can be just allowed or blocked).

Other parameters that can be used to fine-tune rules and tailor them to concrete devices. All parameters are case-

insensitive:

Vendor – Filtering by vendor name or ID.

Model – The given name of the device.

Serial number – External devices usually have their own serial numbers. In the case of a CD/DVD, this is the serial

number of the given media, not the CD drive.

Note: If the above three descriptors are empty, the rule will ignore these fields while matching.

Tip: In order to figure out the parameters of a device, create an allowing rule for the appropriate type of devices,

connect the device to your computer and then check the device details in the Device control log.
