I may have found a massive hole in Data Control which is slightly worring?

nerohero

It would appear that if you create a Data Control Policy which prevent users from emailing file types to unauthorised email destinations like gmail, webmail, hotmail and attach any document from a network directory it allows the email to be sent (Shocking).

If you attach a file from your local machine it blocks the file fine, it would seem that the Sophos agent has difficulties understanding mapped drives which it pretty shocking for a security product.

Note:

I have sent this information to Sophos to review and I may have missed something so don't take this as gospel.  This maybe an isolated issue which is happening in my environment.

    Hello CBC_Jason,

    perhaps you should create a new thread in the DLP board.

    I'm not sure I fully understand your configuration: You run with AV on the home computers, remote scanning turned off. Files are on NetApp (which doesn scanning or doesn't it). You want to control file uploads with IE and as these files are on the NetApp volumes you'd have to turn on remote scanning and this is causing issues?

    Can't speak for Sophos but I'd assume that Dev must take a closer look and you should contact Support with this issues.
