Sophos blocks Secure removable storage devices

ropi

Hello,

i have a question about the "Secure removable storage devices".

In the Sophos Endpoint Security manual are listed a lot of Secure removable storage devices. We bought some of this devices.

I didnt understand how sophos works with this secure devices.

If i plug in a "Secure removable storage devices" the device is blocked by sophos. Of course i can exclude this device but i thought that a "Secure removable storage devices" will be detected as an "secure" device and automatically will be unblocked. Was this a misunderstanding? Is it still necessary to exclude this device in the guideline?

We use Sophos Endpoint Security 10.0 and Sophos Enterprise Console 5.1.0

Greeting

Steffen

    Hello Steffen,

    are we talking about Device Control in Endpoint managed by SEC?

    You have enabled Device Control (DC) and set certain device types to Blocked, haven't you? In addition you have set the Secure Removable Storage type to Full Access (or perhaps better: not changed the default)? If the device presents itself (or is detected) as SRS and among the supported devices it should be treated as per the policy. The blocked message should contain the type - if it doesn't contain secure then it is apparently detected as normal removable storage.
