Removable Disks security modes: disabled, learning, enabled

There are three modes for the security restrictions on Removable Disks:

  • In disabled mode, users can access any removable storage device and no data is logged.
  • In learning mode, any user actions will not be blocked, but can be logged. When you have fine-tuned your environment sufficiently in learning mode, you can set Removable Disks security to enabled mode.
  • In enabled mode, only authorized removable storage devices can be accessed.
  • If you select the option Log security events, security events will also be logged if Removable Disks Security is in learning mode.
  • If you select the option Audit allowed write actions, allowed write actions will also be logged if Removable Disks Security is in learning mode.
  • If you select the option Notify users about security events, users will also be notified if Removable Disks Security is in learning mode.
