The Tracking Policy is designed to monitor and alert on the usage of USB drives on devices. This policy is particularly useful for organizations that need to ensure data security and prevent unauthorized data transfers. Here's a detailed description of the feature:

Key Features:

1. USB Drive Monitoring: The policy continuously checks for the connection of USB drives to devices. If an unauthorized USB drive is detected, an alert is triggered.

2. Alert System: When a USB drive is plugged in, an alert is sent to a designated security email address (e.g., security@artisight.com). This ensures that the security team is immediately informed of any unauthorized access attempts.

3. Real-Time Notifications: The system is designed to notify the ST-APIs as soon as a USB drive is connected, aiming for near-instantaneous alerts.

4. Policy Management:

   • The policy can be configured to check devices every 30 seconds to 1 minute.

   • If data is detected, it is sent to the Swif’s server.

   • Swif stores this information and can trigger additional actions, such as displaying a new tab under the device's information or sending an email notification if an email address is specified in the policy settings.

5. Device Integration: If the tracking policy is active on a device, a new tab appears under the device's information section, displaying relevant tracking data.

6. Cross-Platform Support: The policy is applicable to both Windows and macOS devices, ensuring broad compatibility across different operating systems.

This tracking policy is a robust solution for organizations looking to enhance their data security measures by monitoring and controlling USB drive usage across their devices.
