Malwarebytes Device Control API

The Device Control feature manages access to USB storage drives. Activity is logged every time a USB device is blocked or restricted to read-only.Use the Device Control APIs to export device control activity, obtain information about a specific device control event, search for device control events, and view device control activity grouped by a selected parameter.If your endpoints are running Endpoint Agent version 2.0.0.81 or newer, you can utilize the APIs that manage the Allowlist, or exclusions, for Device Control. The Allowlist provides the ability to override policy controls and prevent certain USB devices from being blocked by Device Control.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Malwarebytes Device Control API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
