Add or remove external removable storage device to the allowlist

As a security measure, CatchPulse users can prevent external storage devices from reading and writing to the PC. However, exceptions to this rule are possible on a per external removable storage device basis via allowlisting.

To add or remove external storage device in or from the external storage device allowlist

1. Launch CatchPulse → Manage.

   

2. On the Manage menu, click on Application Allowlisting → Removable Storage.

   

   If a removable storage device is allowlisted, the removable device will have read and write access.

   Items on a allowlist are granted access to the system allowing them to be installed, altered, and communicated with over the private's network. The goal of having a allowlist is to protect a private network and its devices from outside attacks. Allowlisting is the direct opposite of blacklisting.
