Limit/Deny Access to Shared Folders

During outbreaks, limit or deny access to shared folders on the network to prevent security risks from spreading through the shared folders.

When this policy takes effect, users can still share folders but the policy will not apply to the newly shared folders. Therefore, inform users not to share folders during an outbreak or deploy the policy again to apply the policy to the newly shared folders.

To limit/deny access to shared folders:

• Networked Computers > Outbreak Prevention

1. In the client tree, click the root domain icon to include all clients or select specific domains or clients.

2. Click Start Outbreak Prevention.

3. Click Limit/Deny access to shared folders.

4. Enforce any of the following outbreak prevention policies:

5. Select from the following options:

• Allow read access only: Limits access to shared folders

• Deny Full Access

• The read access only setting does not apply to shared folders already configured to deny full access.

6. Click Save. The Outbreak Prevention Settings screen displays again.

7. Click Start Outbreak Notification. The outbreak prevention measures you selected display in a new window.
