Document Download Filter<br />
The Document Download Filter section looks like this:<br />
Common<br />
Using this section, you can configure actions for inbound office documents that<br />
may enter your corporate network from the Web and are potentially malicious.<br />
The document formats that can be filtered include Microsoft Word 97-2003, Microsoft<br />
Excel 95-2003, Microsoft PowerPoint 95-2003 and all known versions<br />
of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).<br />
Furthermore, they include the following open document formats: Generic XML,<br />
Microsoft OpenXML, Oasis Open Document Format, and the Simple Object<br />
Access Protocol (SOAP), which is an XML-based communications protocol for<br />
applications.<br />
These documents may contain “active” content. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and<br />
Microsoft Open XML support ActiveX controls and macros, while PDF and the<br />
Oasis Open Document Format support embedded JavaScript.<br />
This active content may be hostile rather than friendly, so for full protection<br />
against files that are embedded into Microsoft Office, PDF or open format documents,<br />
you should use the filter provided by the Document Inspector to inspect<br />
these documents and block malicious content from entering your corporate<br />
network.<br />
In addition to this filter, you can apply text categorization to these documents.<br />
If you want to use this filter, make sure the checkbox next to the section heading<br />
is marked. The checkbox is marked by default.<br />
After specifying the appropriate settings, click on Apply Changes to make<br />
them effective.<br />
Use the following items to configure actions for office documents:<br />
• Encrypted document found<br />
From the drop-down list provided here, select an action, e. g. Block or<br />
Allow. This action will be taken if the filter detects an inbound office document<br />
that is potentially malicious.<br />
• Apply Text Categorization<br />
Mark the checkbox provided here, to apply text categorization actions to<br />
inbound office documents.<br />
