External hard drive

BaySt_Inc

Our data control policy works great for USB flash drives.

However,  users can copy data to an external hard drive and bypass our data control policy.

Isn’’’’t a USB external hard drive considered “removable storage”  type?   It should log or block the same way as USB flash drives.

Thanks

    If you have not already done so, please contact Sophos Support. (ideally ask them to notify me so that I can follow up)

    We will need to know the exact make, model and specification of the drive?

    Also what sort of connection is being used?

    - external SATA can look very similar to USB. If an organisation gives users hardware that exposes the internal disk system to them then there is not much we can do :smileysad:

    What operating system is involved?

    And is it particular hardware platform being connected to?
