About device control events
When a device control event occurs, for example, a removable storage device has been blocked, the event is sent to Sophos Enterprise Console and can be viewed in the Device Control - Event Viewer dialog box.
In the Device Control - Event Viewer dialog box, you can use filters to display only the events you are interested in. You can also export the list of device control events to a file.
You can use device control events to add exemptions for specific devices or device models to the device control policies.
The number of computers with device control events over a specified threshold within the last seven days is displayed on the Dashboard.
You can also set up alerts to be sent to your chosen recipients when a device control event has occurred.
