Hello, i want to block drive services (google drive, yandex, cloud etc.)
I've already blocked them on my firewall but when user connects to another network, user can still use drive services.
Is there any way to prevent user to use drive services with Sophos Intercept X & central?
Thanks for any advice,
Best regards,
Thank you for reaching the community Forum.
You can achieve this via the Application control policy by adding those above apps as controlled applications. For the web base access for those apps, you can also add website management and change their categorization using the known block categories so that they’ll no longer be able to access both apps and web-based when connecting outside your network.
Let us know if you have questions or clarifications about this.
With the options specified as shown below, I am able to see the "Website Blocked" message generated as expected.
I suggest testing this via an incognito browser to ensure that the cache in the browser is not interfering with the policy changes you've applied.
When checking the website category of "disk.yandex.com" I see it is currently classified as "Search Engines". You can also verify this by using intelix.sophos.com
It's possible to reclassify the site using the category override function in website management, but you can also submit a request for the site category to be changed on our side by filling out the form under "Web Address (URL)" on the following page.
