Deploy Device Control policy using Endpoint Central

After creating a device control rule, the next step is deploying it. Deploying a policy ensures device control rules are enforced on endpoints, enabling real-time monitoring and management of peripheral devices connected to your network. This safeguards sensitive data by controlling data transfers to unauthorized devices, strengthening security across all endpoints.

Associating a Policy with a Computer Group.

  1. To deploy a policy, Navigate to Device Control module on the Endpoint Central console -> Policies -> Deploy Policy -> Associate Policy
  2. Policy deployment

  3. Select the computer group to which policy should be associated.
  4. In a computer group, the associated policy applies only to computers with the matching OS platform.
