Hi,
If you have Microsoft Defender for Endpoint licenses you can use the Device Control feature: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/device-control-overview?view=o365-worldwide&tabs=Removable
We have this running with several customers and works perfect. You can also configure this from Intune by the way.
