Block Unauthorized Browsers and Email Applications

'Circumvention' means that the user runs an email or browser application for which CA DLP does not offer an endpoint agent. Examples include Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Outlook Express, and Eudora.

To prevent circumvention, configure Application Monitor control actions in the user policy to block users from running these applications.

Follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Administration console and open User Administration or Machine Administration.
  2. Select a User, Group and click Edit policy.
  3. Browse to the following policy path: 
    Control\Application Monitor\Control Triggers\Application n\
  4. Specify the application included in the ban, for example firefox.exe or chrome.exe.
  5. Browse to the following policy path: 
    Control\Application Monitor\Control Actions\Control Action n\
  6. Set the Intervention option for the control action to Block.

    Starting the application now triggers a block action.
