Block run executables in removable device

Obaida Thunibat

 Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to prevent users from running or coping any executables in removable device with excluded files type that considered not risky.

    Hello Obaida Thunibat,

    only Peripheral Control considers the removable attribute. What you want is something similar to download protection or a "reverse DLP" (maybe Data Infiltration Protection).
    From the scanner's POV a removable device is not only just a local disk, you can't block arbitrary files or file types with the Threat Protection policy.

    Thank you for the explanation, I had the same feature before in McAfee DLP before migrating to Sophos.
