  • 1.  Block Upload to Desktop Application and Cloud Web Services

    Posted Apr 12, 2021 06:28 PM
    Hi All,
    Looking for the best and proper way to implement prevention (blocking) of file upload to desktop apps (Such as - WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc) and to web services (Such as - Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, etc) in Symantec Data Loss Prevention.

    I've performed many online searches and conducted a lot of on-premise tests and so far was only able to block upload to web cloud services via URL block as the recipient.

    But - Cannot block upload to desktop applications - main focus is WhatsApp for desktop (but still wish to block other software) - Added these application in "Global Application Monitoring". 


    It would be highly helpful if anyone can provide documentation, other threads or any other kind of assistance in the process.

    Big thanks in advance!
