Manually Adding an Application(s) to Be Blocked

To manually add an application to be blocked:
  1. Select the Add application option from the drop-down menu. The following displays:

  2. From the Policy dropdown menu, select one or more of the Application Control policies in which to block this application or select the All option to specify that this application is to be blocked by all Application Control type policies. FortiEDR is provided out-of-the-box with a single Application Control type policy and you can clone it in order to create additional Application Control type policies as needed, as described in page 45.
  3. You can optionally use the Tag field in order to classify this application. Tags can be helpful for classifying and filtering long lists of applications. In the Tag field, click to specify the tag to be added to the application. You can assign a previously defined tag or define a new tag.

  4. In the Hash field, enter the hash of one or more applications. Each hash is the unique identifier of an individual application. If you enter multiple hashes, then they must be comma separated. Supported hash formats are specified under the field.
  5. Click the Add button. The Application Control Manager then lists a row for each hash value (application) entered in the Hash field.

    When a Collector Group is assigned to the application control policy (specify above), then all the applications with these hashes are blocked and cannot be launched.
