How to make white list policy on file blocking palo alto

L0 Member

I have Palo Alto PA - 5520 Series

when the user uploads a file, I want palo alto just allow file in jpeg, png, xls, xlsx, pdf type. and blocking other file types.

because my server has an incident, it receive file type phar and php (malicious file) but palo alto didn't block this file because Palo Alto alto didn't have phar file type.   

so I want to make white list just for jpeg, png, xls, xlsx, and pdf upload file type. 

maybe you can help me.

Hi @Alfiananto ,

 

Navigate to Objects -> Security Profiles -> File Blocking -> Add a profile. In this profile, Specify the extension and MIME type for each file type you wish to be allowed. Ensure that the "Action" for all other file types is set to "Block". Once the custom profile is created, Navigate to "Policies" and select the relevant security policies you wish to enforce your newly created file blocking profile. Hope this helps!
