Does SEP 12.1.5 support auto scan of usb devices when connected? (other than auto protect scan)

No,Only File System Auto-Protect option

The File System Auto-Protect scan is the only type which would automatically scan a USB drive connected to the system. This type of scan, by default, would only run when a file is accessed or modified (scans the files when they are written, opened, moved, copied, or run).

This means that if any infections/threats present on the USB drive attempt to access or modify any of the content on the system, it would be detected. The detection mechanism within File System Auto-Protect ensures safety from threats present on the USB drives.

Symantec Antivirus does not currently run an automatic System Scan on the contents of flash drives when they are first plugged in. A manual scan on the contents of a flash drive can be initiated by right-clicking on the drive in My Computer and choosing Scan for Viruses

Does Symantec Endpoint Protection or Symantec Antivirus Scan USB flash drives?

Hello Jgrab,

As of now SEP does not auto scan a USB when inserted. its been that way from a long time.

however files  will be scanned by Autoprotect only when ACCESSED from USB.

It does not. You need to manually scan when it is plugged. Auto-protect will still scan if files are accessed.
