Deny execute access: Device will not prevent users from transferring anything from/to the removable storage, but it will block users from opening programs and files stored in the removable storage. This action is suitable if the administrator only wants to protect the device from virus or malware that could be in the removable storage.
Deny read access: Device will totally block all users from reading contents in the removable storage. It also effectively prevents users from transferring anything from/to the removable storage. Administrator can use this if they want to completely restrict the usage of removable storage.
Deny write access: Device will prevent all users transferring anything to the removable storage, but not the other way around. Users will still be able to read contents in the removable storage. This action is suitable if the administrator only wants to protect confidential data in the device from being copied out to a removable storage.
