tadcooke Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 I've just had a lovely chat with Trend Micro about their handy USB blocking feature in the Worry-Free services, turns out it has no power to block SD cards. Considering we're blocking USBs as a security measure this makes it a bit useless... Does anyone have a system they use to block SD cards which are inserted into slots on laptops? Should we just glue them up and use external card readers which we can control a bit? I need to allow certain cards to be used for photography so need some flexibility! Thanks all!
Cazab Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Could you plug the camera in to a computer via USB, capture the camera's hardware ID and add that to your USB device allow list? 1

tadcooke Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Cazab - Thanks, we'll have a go at this, I'm assuming the camera functionality wouldn't get blocked as its just USB storage being switched off, but maybe the camera storage would be? - - - Updated - - - DalekSec - Would take a while with over 300 laptops, but definitely a possiblility...
