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

    Hi, 

    iPhones are not currently blocked by device control. They appear to the endpoint as either a camera or custom device type (for itunes). We are looking into extending device coverage to include cameras (mtp/ppt devices) and also specific iPhone capabilities. Although it is possible to copy files using itunes it is not possible to use an iPhone as removable storage without additional software tools. The reason the blackberry and android devices are appearing in the event viewer is that they present themselves as removable storage when connected (amongst other things). 

    You could consider SafeGuard port protector which does detect and block iPhones if this is a concern?

    Hope this helps
