Frequently asked questions

USB Control — answered.

How does USB DLP prevent data theft?

USB DLP controls which removable devices can be used and records every file copied, created, deleted, or renamed. Sentrix Axis lets you block storage entirely or allow it by group, keeping a clear evidence trail for investigations.

Can we allow USB for some teams but block it for others?

Yes. Sentrix Axis applies group-level allow or block policies for removable storage, so trusted roles retain access while higher-risk groups are restricted.

What USB activity is logged?

Insert and remove timestamps, username, device name, and full file-transfer activity are captured in a searchable table to support audits and policy reviews.
