Input devices include keyboards, mice, trackballs, touchpads, and other such devices. You can connect input devices using the following interfaces: USB, Bluetooth, PS/2 port, RS-232 (COM) port, IR port, etc.
Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security allows controlling USB and Bluetooth mice and keyboards. Device Control logs input device connection and disconnection devices.
When Bluetooth devices are connected or disconnected, the application may create multiple events about the device. The reason is that the operating system may detect a Bluetooth device as multiple devices of different types. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security also manages the Bluetooth adapter through which the device is connected as a separate device. That is why the application creates an event for each of the detected devices.
Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security lets you allow or prohibit using an input device, as well as make a list of trusted devices.
