Issue/Introduction
How to identify if a USB device is supported for device control for MacOS endpoints
Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud Console: November '20 Release (0.60) and Higher
- Endpoint Standard MacOS Sensor: 3.5.3.82 and Higher
- MacOS: All Supported Versions
Resolution
- On MacOS, the RepCLI utility does not support the
device all
command, so unlike Windows, this is not an option for MacOS endpoints - If the USB Mass Storage Device is reported in Carbon Black Cloud and is visible under the Inventory page, then it is supported for device control
Additional Information
- The Device Control supports only USB devices with the device type being a "Mountable Volume" and the interface type as a USB
- When device connects for the first time to an endpoint, it takes up to five minutes to synch the inventory in Carbon Black Cloud
- More examples of which devices would be supported can be found in the Inventory > USB Devices section of the User Guide
