Issue:
How can I block the download of a specific file type, for example MP4 or EXE, with Elements Endpoint Protection (EPP for Computers or EPP for Servers)?
Resolution:
EPP for Computers and EPP for Servers have the Browsing Protection feature called Content Type Filtering, which can be used to block specific content types.
Note: The content type filtering is only performed if Security Cloud does not recognize the website address (URL) the content originates from.
- Log in to Elements Endpoint Protection Portal
- Go to the Profiles page
- Select the Profile to modify
- Go to the Browsing Protection settings
- Click Add Content Type filter:
- Content Type: application/*mp4*
- Filename: *.mp4
- Description: Block MP4 file
- Click Save and Publish
