While the Device Control component is running, Kaspersky Endpoint Security manages user access to the devices that are installed on or connected to the client device (for example, hard drives, cameras, or Wi-Fi modules). This lets you protect the client device from infection when external devices are connected, and prevent data loss or leaks. Device Control manages user access to devices using the access rules.
This feature is not supported in the KESL container.
When access to a device is denied by the Device Control task, and such a device connects to the client device, the application denies access to the device to users specified in the rule and displays a notification. During attempts to read and write on this device, the application silently blocks the users specified in the rule from reading/writing.
