How to disable Notification Panel on Lock Screen?

[RichMan1]

Hello. I tried to find a way to disable access to the pull down Notification Panel straight from the lock screen, but can't seem to find it. Does anybody know how to do it, specifically on S8/S8+? I want the notification panel only to be visible on Home Screen when I pull it.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean - When my screen is locked (I don't have any lockscreen shortcuts enabled) the only input accepted is the pin/pattern or finger print option - If that's what you mean - Settings - Security - Secure Lock Settings is the only thing that I can think of?

No bro, the pull down Notification Panel. I want to disable it on Lock screen. I want it only on Home Screen. Similar like iOS.
Is it possible??

Ok - Gotcha - Yeah I don't know if it's possible?

[RichMan1]

Yeah, I don't seem to find anything anywhere either. It's a security nightmare.

The only thing I did find was this - But it doesn't stop you from being able to use the Pull Down Notifications - Except that it looks like you can't turn off Location or Data from the Pull Down Notifications until you unlock the phone..

Yeah I already did that. But you can turnoff everything else including sound, bluetooth, sync etc. Plus there are always workarounds to unlock the phone through the panel using different vulnerabilities.
That's why wanted to completely remove it from lock screen.

@Richman, There's no way to do it in your phone settings, but there's an app called Cerberus Anti Theft that I believe has the option to disable the Notification Panel, and you can also disable the power button when the phone is locked:
