Device control
ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Linux provides automatic device (CD/DVD/USB/...) control. This module allows you to block or adjust extended filters/permissions and define a user's ability to access and work with a given device. This is useful if the computer administrator wants to prevent the use of devices containing unsolicited content.

Possible file-system damage Applying a policy with block/read-only action on already connected devices while writing/reading data is in progress may damage their file system because they are forcibly unmounted. |

Replace policy If multiple device control rule policies are applied on an EEAU instance, the last applied policy replaces previous policies' rules. |
Supported external devices:
