G DATA MXDR

In the Device logging section, you can view comprehensive logs about interactions of individual external devices.

A list is displayed that contains all interactions originating from external devices in the supported device classes on the endpoints. You can sort the entries alphanumerically in descending or ascending order by clicking the column heading. There is also a search field that you can use to display specific interactions.

By clicking a list entry, a details window opens with all information about the respective interaction.

Here you can store information about the device involved in a free-text field and also directly create an Exclusion for the device.

In certain cases, it can be useful to set up exclusions with regard to the global rules for specific devices. With G DATA Device Control, it is possible to allow the use of individual external devices contrary to the global rules. This can be defined either globally or for specific endpoints.

In the Exclusions section, a list of all created exclusions is displayed. You can sort the entries alphanumerically in descending or ascending order by clicking the column heading; there is also a search field so that you can search specifically when you have a large number of exclusions.

To create an exclusion, click . An input form opens in which you can enter the data for the exclusion to be created.

All fields in the input form are required in order to uniquely identify the device for which an exclusion is to be created. You must also select whether the exclusion is to be created globally or for a specific endpoint and whether read-only access or full access is granted. You can also specify whether the exclusion should be permanently active or active for a limited time.
Immediately after creating a new exclusion, it is displayed in the list.

Exclusions can be deleted or edited via the buttons in the action column. The edit form corresponds to the form for creating an exclusion.

In the Global access rights section, you can configure which basic rules apply to five classes of external devices:

There are three different access rights that can be assigned to a device class: Allowed, Blocked, and Read-only.

In the Device notifications section, you can configure the message displayed to users when they attempt to use a blocked external device on an endpoint.

You can enter the exact text in German and in English in the designated text fields. Users will then see this instead of the predefined standard texts when required. In addition, you can specify a link including link label to provide, for example, an easy way for users to communicate with your IT or ticketing system and have the external device enabled quickly.
