Managing Devices

You can configure custom settings for specified devices or device types. These device settings are typically used as exceptions to settings defined in Media Encryption & Port Protection rules.

There are two types of devices:

• Storage Device - Removable media device on which users can save data files. Examples include: USB storage devices, SD cards, CD/DVD media and external disk drives.

• Peripheral Device - Devices on which users cannot save data and that cannot be encrypted.

New devices are added manually or are automatically discovered by the Endpoint Server.

You can view Manually added devices or Discovered devices. In the Device Type column, you can see if the device is a storage device or a peripheral device.
