  • 1.  Blocking app for certain amount of time

    Posted Apr 20, 2015 10:14 AM

    I would like to be able to allow an app for a time period, such as 15 minutes per day and then block it after that.  The idea is to allow something so that it can establish a connection, and then stop it after a period of time.

     

    Can this be done with SEP?

    I think it's possible with SEP however let me reconfirm with other members.

    You can do this with the firewall. There is a schedule you can set in the rule. See here:

    Yes, you can set the time filter as per your requirement.

    Go to SEPM --> Policies --> Firewall --> Select rule and click on 'Time'

    Unfortunately, these settings only let me pick certain hours of the day when something is allowed or blocked.  I would like set it as a time limit, as in, "You can run this app for 15 minutes only" and then it will be blocked.

    This isn't possible. You can only choose start/end times

    Unfortunately it's not possible exactly what you want. But can put it under enhancement request here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/node/add/idea?add_context=691
