Removable storage control sets contain a set of rules Jamf Protect applies to storage devices. A control set includes:

  • The default configuration control policy applied to supported removable storage devices

  • Optional override rules to prevent or allow eligible removable storage devices based on encryption status, vendor ID, product ID, and/or serial number

Jamf Protect administrators can configure removable storage control sets to apply increasingly granular restrictions on the use of removable storage devices. Restrictions can include, but are not limited to:

  • Prevent access to all supported removable storage devices

  • Prevent access to all supported removable storage devices that are not encrypted

  • Set all supported removable storage devices to be read-only

  • Prevent or allow specific removable storage devices identified by vendor ID, product ID, or serial number
