Hello there !
I am the sole IT for a 100 users law firm and our baseline policy is that all sharing websites such as Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc are blocked by default, mainly for security reasons.
However, it regularly happens that I must allow exception because clients and third parties use that medium, even though we have our own file sharing solution, and so I constantly enable and disable exceptions for these cases.
I was wondering if there were more efficent ways to manage this ?
I am using a FortiGate for web filtering / application control.
At first I thought about developping myself a small Outlook addin that would interact with the FortiGate's API with a small input for URLs, so I'd just enter a link and it would push the URL to the FortiGate, changing dynamically the rule, but it seems that unless you have a subscription with Fortinet's developer network, you can't get an API key to begin with.
Any better idea on how to handle this ?
