Hi,

Currently we use data control policies in SEC 4.5 with 9.5.5. Endpoints to monitor all data transfer to removable and optical media. This featre is a fantastic way of monitoring data transfer in the business. However, we are now looking at widening this control policy to include all data uploads in web browsers to cloud storage sites. Web filtering blocks most of these sites, but certain websites have been identified as required for a business use. 

On the network there are approx 95% hosts running IE 8; some privilaged users are running Chrome and Firefox. I have been testing a new data control policy to detect all file uploads to IE 8 and Firefox V7, so far this has worked brilliantly. However, there are a few users with Chrome (myself included), and Sophos doesn't seem to support the Chrome browser in the data control policy settings. 

Is there any plan for Google Chrome to be supported in the near future? Otherwise, the only option I can see is forcing users of Chrome to use Firefox or IE.  

Cheers

Mike

    Hi,

    Yes - Chrome support is coming in Endpoint 10.1 due March / April 2012. Alongside Skype and Lync support. We're also adding support for validation routines when supported by sensitive data types e.g. Luhn 10 for credit card numbers and Mod 11 for NHS patient numbers.

    We have also fixed the current gaps in monitoring uploads from the download and root user folder which currently impacts application monitoring but not storage monitoring. So all in all a nice set of fixes and enhancements. BETA should go live in the new year.

    Next on the list for monitored applications isiTunes, Novell Groupwise mail client and Dropbox. I'd welcome input from others on what they'd list to see covered.

    Best regards,
