Configuring device whitelist
GFI EndPointSecurity enables you to specify which device(s) can be accessed by everyone. The whitelist is granular, so you can even whitelist a specific device with a specific serial number. You can do this on a policy-by-policy basis.
For an updated list of devices currently connected to the target computers, run a device scan and add the discovered devices to the devices database prior to configuring whitelisted devices. For more information refer to Discovering Devices.
To add whitelist devices to a protection policy:
- Click Configuration tab > Protection Policies.
- From Protection Policies > Security, select the protection policy to configure.
- From the right pane, click Devices WhiteList in the General Control section.

- In the Whitelist dialog, click Add… to select devices to add to the whitelist.
Select Devices options
- In the Select Devices dialog enable or disable the devices to add to the whitelist from the Devices list, and click Next.
