Device Control (Peripheral control ) lets you control access to peripherals and removable media. Device control enables you to prevent users from using unauthorized external hardware devices, removable storage media, and wireless connection technologies on their computers. This can help to significantly reduce your exposure to accidental data loss and restrict the ability of users to introduce software from outside of your network environment.

Removable storage devices, optical disk drives, and floppy disk drives can also be set to provide read-only access. If you need to exempt individual peripherals from that control you should use a Peripheral Control Policy in Sophos Central Admin.
