dodders 0 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to block the running of executables from USB using ESET? I know it can be done by Group Policy but would prefer to do it through EST if possible? Edited March 21, 2017 by dodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,392 Posted March 21, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's not possible. Device Control allows for blocking removable media based on parameters, such as vendor, model and serial number. What's the use case? Do you want restrict users to access only data files, images, etc. on removable media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodders 0 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) OK thanks, we've just been advised by a consultant that we should prevent the running of executables from removable media. We still need to allow access to files on USB. We'll go the GPO route.
