[Internal]: Update Device control documentation #3690
Description
Description
Elastic 9.2.0. introduced the device control function. We have had some discussion on what this function does or doesn't do. Based on the docs's, it's not entirely clear.
We suggest adding the following to the public facing documentation:
- The device control feature works only on MacOS and Windows. Linux is not supported at this time.
- The device control feature only targets USB storage devices. Other USB peripherals (such as Yubikeys, webcams, keyboards, etc) are not impacted by this feature.
I think we also need to document at bit more in-depth what the feature actually protects and scans. I'll tag some members to fill this in.
