Data Loss Prevention

Hello everyone,

I have found this : https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/dlp-policy-block-uploading-file-type-web-httphttps

My question for you is, can i restrict users from being able to upload files via browser to certain webpages so that they can only upload these files from certain folders with read only access ? I want to be able to know if they data that is uploaded is legitimate and not tempered with.

Thanks.

Not easily. You can enable Application File Access monitoring which will monitor the files that the browsers read/open from a specific directory (via the filters in System > Agent > Agent Configuration), but this can degrade performance of the browser and won't help if the source read-only folder is different for all users.

Instead I'd recommend you index the document you want to ensure are not tampered with, with Indexed Document Matching (IDM) located in Manage > Data Profiles > Indexed Documents and set the threshold to 100% when referencing the index in policies. This will ensure the document 100% matches the index.
