Products

Issue/Introduction

Is there anyway to have Endpoint Standard Device Control block access to cell phones?

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud Console: November 20 Release (0.60) and Higher
• Endpoint Standard Sensor: 3.6.0.1897 and Higher
• Endpoint Advanced: 3.6.0.1897 and Higher
• Endpoint Enterprise: 3.6.0.1897 and Higher

Resolution

• Not currently
• The Endpoint Standard sensor only tracks mounted volumes
• Some phones, cameras, and other media devices use the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) or Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to transfer media files to/from the machine without ever mounting as a volume

Additional Information

Device Control only controls USB Mass Storage Devices (removable hard disks, USB thumbsticks, SDHC cards etc) peripherals that the operating system identifies as a mounted volume/drive
