So I know that most of us are blocking the most common attachments but .zip
has not usually been included in them. Yes I know that a .zip file has the
files we are blocking, however we still have to provide a way of conducting
business to our end users. So now for the questions;
1) For those that are not blocking .zip files have you started to reevaluate
that decision? If so how are you thinking that you will overcome the
business need for attachments to get to your end users?
My answer, Yes we are thinking of starting to block .zip files. My
initial thought was to have the users rename them to *.zi_ so that it would
take manual user intervention to rename the file and open it.
2) For those that are already blocking .zip files how are you dealing with
users and their need for attachments?
We were lucky on this one, in the 2 hours that it took Trend (thank you
Trend!) to get the definition file on the street, we had twenty some
messages delivered here. My luck was that due to the Snow & Ice we got our
offices were closed on Monday so all the attachments were cleaned during the
manual scan Tuesday morning. If we had been at work I'm not sure that one
of our users would not have opened the message. As I stated I am looking at
adding .zip files to our you can't come here list, I am just trying to get a
feel for what ya'all are doing as well.
Thanks
Jeff
