Umbrella Policy to Permit Access to Facebook but deny messenger

Redman1804

Hello 

 

I'm preparing for a PoV exercise for a customer and they are interested in certain use cases for which they have requested a couple of  scenarios:

 

The first is to permit limited access to a social media site like facebook but deny access to messenger. Facebook is permitted with the default policy and I can modify this to deny Facebook outright which would block messenger but I can't figure out how to block messenger alone.

 

The second scenario is to permit access to a site such as cisco.com but deny any file downloads except for those with PDF extensions.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

I suppose that you need to perfom app control for blocking the Facebook chat via SWG. Is it correct?

Indeed you need also to apply SSL inspection. In this way you can block the Facebook chat without blocking the Facebook site.
