    Applicable to:

    • Twingate Component: Client | Device Security
    • Platform: Windows

    Overview

    When encryption is added as a condition to the device posture check, it may trigger a "Device security error" when a USB flash drive (or other storage device) is connected. 

    Symptoms

    Cause

    In some cases, Windows will detect the USB device (falsely) as the local disk and it usually will not have encryption enabled. 

    Resolution

    Disconnecting the USB device will resolve this. We are currently evaluating other methods to filter out USB drives from being detected as not encrypted.
