iPhone not blocked by Device Control

Ned

Hi,

I have configured through Enterprise Console -> Device Control all options to blocked, and enabled device control scanning.

I have one exemption under Removable Storage:

Model: Olympus DVR USB Device, Device ID: All, Access Level: Full

However when I plug in an iPhone iTunes gets blocked by application control, however the choose action dialog appears, and the user can choose microsoft image and camera wizard and access the files on the device. I wondered whether this was the desired functionality of blocking all removable storage devices in device control, or whether I can further restrict these kinds of devices.

Thanks

Ned

    We have an addition to device control coming in October which will include iPhone and iPads etc as it covers MTP/PTP devices. To cover wifi access you will have to ensure that you are not allowing these devices to access the machines on which iTunes or Samsung Kies (for example) as clearly when connected this way devices are not using USB. By default the Windows and Sophos firewalls will block this type of connection as it in an unsolicited inbound connection.

    You should also of course use application control to stop the use of these apps (iTunes is already included, Kies is to follow ASAP).
