blockage of all endpoint devices may be the choice of security,
however, there may be times when specific users may need access
to some devices. For example the IT team would need
CD/DVD access to install software, the marketing department
may need USB flash access to store presentations etc.
Through
the Allowed List feature, permission policies of authorized
devices can be assigned to specific users. Depending on
the device type, permissions of read, write or no access can
be assigned to the users. This minimizes leakage
of sensitive data or infection of systems through unapproved
or personal employee devices.
Devices
that are added to the Allowed List can allow users access to
only company authorized devices. Users would have read/write
privileges to those devices listed under the Allowed List.
