Data Control - from USB to hard disk

toddh

Hey,

I have been testing out the Data Control policy a little bit.

I have setup some very basic rules to block the copying of Microsoft Office documents to USB keys and so far its working great.

I then wanted to see if I could set it up to prevent .exe's to be copied to USB keys, and that is also working great.

I was wondering though if I can get the blocking to work when a user copies data from a USB to the local hard drive.

For instance, I want to block a user from copying an executable from their USB key to the local hard drive.

In the data control policy under "device types" I have the destination options for Floppy, optical drive, and USB, but no hard disk.

I am not sure if I am looking in the wrong spot, or if this even makes sense to have as an option. But I was just curious if I can set this up?

Thank you

Cheers

    Hey John,

    Thank you for your response.

    I understand that this hasn't been at the top of the priority list. It is sort of a strange request. I didn't realise the complexity of my request either.

    Upon reading your response, your mention of the application control jogged my memory as I had completely forgotten about that. I believe that I should be able to do some of what I wanted to accomplish using this and a few other things.

    It would be nice to see this feature, but I understand now some of the issues that arise trying to accomplish this.

    Thank you for shedding some light on my question once again.

    Cheers

    Todd
