FortiClient EMS 1.0.2 Blocking Teamviewer, Veem, Outlook as exploit

Hello everyone,

 

i have installed for a rist time the EMS and we are now Testing 20 Workstations with a customer. i must say EMS seems to be very cool improvment in comparison to managing FortiClient from FortiGate.

 

But we have one Big Issue now. 

 

We activated Application Control and Also Exploit Protection. and now a lot of "good" and well known Applications like Veem, Outlook, TeamViewer, Apple Mobile Device Service etc. will be blocked as Exploit or P2P (Veem Backup for example)

 

So the question is how can we override this Applications if they will be threated as Exploit???

 

Thank you very much.

    From what I seen is that once you install the FortiClient it will popup alot of "blocked" messages.

    and this is while it´s updating the signatures, once it´s done it works as expected.

    We're using EMS 1.0.2 in a production environment. TeamViewer is working fine on a test laptop I have access to. You sure there's not spyware on that machine?

     

    Incidentally I'm also exporting the FortiClient logs to FortiAnalyzer, which is very helpful.

    Have you worked this out? I tried to deploy the Application FW too, but from what it's blocking by default sortof utterly worthless.

    The EMS interface 'add signatures' button doesn't even do anything on my installs...

    I had the same kind of issue when I tried to enable that option and had to disable it.
