Blocking uploads and downloads of files

Hey all, below is what we are trying to do within Sophos Central (we have web control, web gateway, endpoint, interceptx, dlp, etc.)

1 - Block users from installing applications unless they are approved by IT

2 - Block users from having the ability to upload or download attachments to and from any website unless the website is whitelisted (example: I don't want users to be able to download or upload files to their personal email).....and a notification of this attempt would be nice too. This obviously shouldn't block corporate Outlook from being able to do this.

3 - Block dropbox/one drive, etc.

4 - Be able to read/user cdrom / thunb drive but not copy to them.

Thanks.

Hello Sharad Agrawal,

[obviously this forum isn't R/O]
Central is possibly the better forum group for most items but anyway:

please see the Application Control section

for this you'd likely use the Web Appliance

the applications could be blocked with Application Control (type Online storage), for web access you'd have to configure the Web Appliance accordingly

you should be able to achieve this with Peripheral Control (aka Device Control)
