Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a product that controls external storage devices when plugged into a Mac. For example, when a user plugs in a flash drive, if the flash drive is encrypted, then allow read-write permissions, if it is unencrypted allow read-only. This product also needs to be hosted on-premises. Any recommendations are appreciated, thank you.
@Knight_Owl Jamf Protect offers the removable media control you're asking for, it is not however something you can host on-prem.
we use DataLocker (Portblocker) product.

@duff2481-1 Does that product have the option to allow writing to encrypted devices? I cannot tell from the vendor's product page.

Yes, we have specific USB devices that are used which are hardened (encrypted).

@duff2481-1 Do you mean the USB device is hardware encrypted (such as the Kingston IronKey or the Aegis Secure Key), or that a standard USB drive which has been formatted as an encrypted volume using Disk Utility can be used? The latter functionality is supported by Jamf Protect.
