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

    Hi Christian,

    yes thats correct, we are talking about the Device Control in Endpoint managed by SEC.

    We have a DC enabled and set optical drives and removable storage to "block". The secure removable storage is set to "full access".

    if i plug in the secure removable device the device is blocked, in the device control events on the SEC i see this information:

    Modell: Verbatim Secure Data USB USB Device

    Typ: removable storage

    Status: blocked

    The verbatim secure 'n' go is listed in the supported devices.

    We have a Verbatim secure'n'Go Secure Data USB Drive 4GB

    In the list is it a Verbatim secure'n'Go Micro 8GB

    Maybe thats the Problem? Is it necessary to have excatly the same usb stick (same size, same version) because we thought that a verbatim secure'n'go is enough be we dont have the micro 8gb version.

    Thanks and greeting

    Steffen
