What is Device Control?

Device control is a feature that uses rules to allow or block access to desired removable media or devices. In home version, you can select Disk storage, CD/DVD and FireWire disk storage. Endpoint offers control of a variety of devices, such as printers, phones, Bluetooth, modems, LPT/COM ports, etc.
