Device Control

When the Device Control component is enabled, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes manages user access to devices that are installed or connected to the computer (for example, hard drives, smart card readers, or Wi-Fi modules). This lets you protect the computer from infection when such devices are connected, and prevent data loss or leaks. Device Control manages user access to devices using the access rules.

When a device blocked by Device Control is connected to the computer, the application blocks user access to this device and shows a notification.
