Application Control List

Good morning,

I'm reviewing the application control policy in preparation for the Sophos upgrade to the latest version. Instead of having to manually write everything down from the Application Types window, I was wondering if maybe you would already have everything in a list? I've tried searching the website but didn't find anything, then I found out there were also forums :)

Would any list with the Application Controlled applications exist?

Thank you

Andre

  • If I remember correctly, at the time IE was added to the application control list and the option "All added by Sophos in the future" was in the Blocked section. Suddenly iexplore.exe was blocked on all the machines. After the setting was corrected, we had the issue that some clients weren't immediately getting the updated policy (for whatever reason), the machine was shutdown again, etc...

    We had to push the new policy out a few times over the next few weeks. Adding to this, we have often the case the IE is the first thing users open when logging in, and they manage to do this faster than Sophos manages to update itself. So they called in to complain. A policy update push on that machine and the issue was resolved.

    In any case, we learned the lesson and now have the "All added by Sophos in the future" option by default in the Authorized tab in pretty much all the categories.
