You could just put such a small attachment size restriction on them that nothing would go.
Say 1K. From: Jeff S. Gottlieb [mailto:jeff.s.gottl...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 1:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: BLOCKING end-users from ATTACHING and EMAILING... We are searching for a method to BLOCK end-users from ATTACHING and EMAILING [sensitive] docs located on a SPECIFIC FOLDER of the share. What we have accomplished thus far: 1) Using Sophos we activated "Device Control" preventing end-user from coping to Storage, Network, or Short Range devices 2) Using Sophos we also activated "Data Control". thus creating email alerts detailing the sender /recipient, time /date, and name /location of attachment 3) All documents are converted to PDF with security options that prevent copy /paste, and printing 4) End-users are NOT allowed Internet access Owners are left *totally* unsatisfied with all the above, as these measures are not preventative enough. Leaving any of the end-users without ability to email is NOT an option. Leaving a [public] workstation open, available with access to this SPECIFIC FOLDER, and then having no email /Internet is NOT an option. These end-users are all in the CAD design department. Given the nature of the business, suffice-it-to-say, one drawing in email could represent a significant loss. Sadly, the owners feel they cannot entirely rely on the loyalty of generously paid employees [with great benefits], company policies, and or legalese. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. comments. Cheers, -J EMPLOYEE Supposition: Surely in created the level of sophistication placed in Sophos with Device & Data Control suggests that a greater need exists to protect the employer's intellectual property. Along with these concepts, the end-users themselves have become more sophisticated and perhaps unfortunately [these days] more-willing to place their positions on the line. I guess if we've done our IT job. than the end-users ONLY option is to snap a photo using a cell-phone. What then will the employer do?? Add company policy to include NO CELL PHONES?? Imagine a world AT WORK without texting, tweeting, and the occasional personal call??? Ouch!
