Endpoint Protection

Is there a way to automatically detect USB internet modems on the business network.

Do anyone has idea on this.

Thanks

Hi Rosh,

can you please explain what are you looking for?

Application and Device control policy can block the modems using the Hardware device Id's.

Thanks to Fatih:

Change the policy to either enforce or just log the events. Test or Prod.

Here you can find a document on how to block USB using the policy mentioned by pete_4u2002:

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I did implemented Application and devise control policy with some exception for some devises.

I am trying find the solution, if some user plugins USB internet modem then IT should trace it.

Here the internet is restricted to some users. The other users are trying to browse the internet through their personal USB modems.

What is your Symantec Endpoint Protection version?

I would suggest using the latest available 11.0.6300.762

Thanks for the solution. Partly my problem is solved.

We have two groups, one with enable usb and other one with disable usb.

For enable USB group, if some one uses USB internet modem, how can I find it.

Regards

Rosh

using the devviewer to know the ID!
