Malwarebytes

Malwarebytes Device Control API

The Device Control feature manages access to USB storage drives. Activity is logged every time a USB device is blocked or restricted to read-only. Use the Device Control APIs to export device control activity, obtain information about a specific device control event, search for device control events, and view device control activity grouped by a selected parameter. If your endpoints are running Endpoint Agent version 2.0.0.81 or newer, you can utilize the APIs that manage the Allowlist, or exclusions, for Device Control. The Allowlist provides the ability to override policy controls and prevent certain USB devices from being blocked by Device Control.
