## Frequently asked questions

### What is device control software?

Device control software is a security solution that manages, monitors, and restricts the use of peripheral devices (such as USB drives, external hard drives, and printers) connected to endpoints in an organization. It helps prevent data theft, malware infections, and ensures compliance with data protection regulations by controlling which devices can access corporate systems and what data can be transferred.
