Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us and apologies for the delayed response!

You could use Wazuh to detect PNP Usb devices and filter by authorized and unauthroized devices. With such a configuration, plugging a device would trigger an alert on your wazuh server.

Setting up these alerts can be useful to automatically block the devices when combined with Wazuh's Active response, that can execute a command in the affected endpoint as a response to an alert. How Active response works and how to configure it is explained in greater detail in our documentation
https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/active-response/index.html

Lastly, in order to configure your agents in bulk, Wazuh does have an option to set certain configurations remotely. You also have the option to group your agents and apply varied configurations to each as a group if a global policy would not fit all
https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/reference/centralized-configuration.html

I believe these articles could be a good starting point in your research, if you have any further questions on this topic, we would love to hear more about them and the use case you are applying this configuration to.

Have a great day!
