An organization wants to block all video and audio application traffic but grant access to...

To block all video and audio application traffic while granting access to videos from CNN, you need to configure an application override action in the Application Control with Inline-CASB. Here is the step-by-step detailed explanation:

Application Control Configuration:

Application Control is used to identify and manage application traffic based on predefined or custom application signatures.

Inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) extends these capabilities by allowing more granular control over cloud applications.

Blocking Video and Audio Applications:

To block all video and audio application traffic, you can create a policy within Application Control to deny all categories related to video and audio streaming.

Granting Access to Specific Videos (CNN):

To allow access to videos from CNN specifically, you must create an override rule within the same Application Control profile.

The override action "Exempt" ensures that traffic to specified URLs (such as those from CNN) is not subjected to the blocking rules set for other video and audio traffic.

Configuration Steps:

Navigate to the Application Control profile in the FortiSASE interface.

Set the application categories related to video and audio streaming to "Block."

Add a new override entry for CNN video traffic and set the action to "Exempt."
