Question

VPN - Prevent copying between connected systems

Hi,

We are using Fortigate 300c. Currently, users can copy data from the system they are connecting from (home computer) to the system they are connecting to (corporate system) and vice versa . Is it possible to disable this functionality for specific users or portals (including clipboard)?

 

I am sure but I heard there was also another feature that creates a temporary workspace and clears the same when VPN is disconnected. How does that work and will that help here (if it is present)?

 

I am trying to prevent possible malware transfer and DLP with this method.

 

Thanks in advance.

Of course, you seems to have NO service filtering in your SSL Policy

Just set it up & users can only connect to what you allow them to

Thanks for the response scerazy. From our end we have enabled only RDP. The user is still able to copy files to and from the connected system and the host system. The Fortigate version we are using is 5.2.6.

Then there must be some OTHER policy that allows it!

This policy (as you see above, allows ONLY the specified service! - there is no magic to it

 

But what do you mean copy? Using Windows Explorer OR RDP mapped drives?

If the later then disable this funcionality!
