Configuring a File Blocking Rule

Using File Blocking rules, you can prevent the exchange of files between users based on specific file properties such as file name, extension, file size, or true file type. You can configure IM Security so that it applies rules to specific users or groups.

Create a new rule by clicking the File Transfer Scan → File Blocking → Add button.

Modify an existing rule by clicking File Transfer Scan → File Blocking → [Rule name].

Configure File Blocking rules through the following four step process:

Selecting Contacts
Configuring File Blocking Targets
Configuring File Blocking Actions and Notifications
Configuring a File Blocking Rule Name

Note

After configuring a File Blocking rule, ensure that you enable the rule in the File Blocking rule list.

For details, see Enabling File Blocking and the Default Rule.
