You should create an application control sensor profile which contains the Facebook.Chat signature with action block. After this you can use this profile in any of your firewall policies (tipically you need to use in the LAN - INTERNET policy). This is all you need to do.

I am using v5.4.0.  Added signatures in Application Control for Facebook.Chat with action block, also blocked Facebook Chat in Cloud Access Security Inspection (CASI) Security Profile.  But it didn't work.  I still can use Facebook Chat.

Hi Jose,

 

This is actually possible. You should use CASI (Cloud Access Security Inspection) which is available since FortiOS version 5.4

 

This security features makes it possible to monitor/block/allow features of multiple cloud services.

 

For more information about the CASI feature please read: http://help.fortinet.com/...ts-new-54/Top_CASI.htm

Razor,

Have you configured SSL deep packet inspection for the policy that is using the CASI? I don't believe the CASI blocking feature for Facebook chat will work unless you've enabled this.

Need two security policy for working this perfectly:

Apps Policy - Block: Facebook.Chat

CASI - Block: Facebook Chat

 

In IPv4 policy, apply both Apps Policy and CASI Policy along with SSL Inspection. It will work.
