Hi Morvan,

No one ever said effective security was easy or fast :)

The principle of least priviledge says that you give users access to
what they need. So, you need to define in advance what those resources
are, and then continue to track usage requirements. Blocking sites on a
too granular basis incurs too much overhead. You're better off creating
a network access policy and then reviewing usage reports and whacking
employees who violate the network use policy.

HTH,
Tom

Hi Thom!

I understand but I can't do it.
My police is allow all and deny somethings. What isn't explicit denied
is allowed, ok!
In Site and Content Rules I have one open_access ALLOW rule and a set of
DENY rules based on destinations sets and/or content, to implement this
policy.

If I create a rule like you say:
destinations = all destinations except (http://br.groups.yahoo.com,
PATH=/group/superwaba/), action=deny

I will deny everthing else (http://br.groups.yahoo.com,
PATH=/group/superwaba/).
I can't do it, cause my users need access all sites on the web, that I
don't deny. 
With such rule I will implement a restrictive policy "deny all and allow
especific destinations". 
I can't determine all sites where my users need to go, my organization
have interest that they can search solutions in the internet, so I can't
use such restrictive police. 

I need something in ISA in site and content rules:
destinations = selected destinations set (xxxx-sets) except (xxxx-sets),
but it isn't available. Site and content rules have only the option
destinations = all destinations except (xxxx-sets). 

I can't belive that I can't resolve this problem with ISA, Im thinking a
lot about this question and can't see one way to do this with ISA.

Some form will be create a destination set and list the maximum number
of PATHs and subdomains to deny into yahoo.com, and create a deny rule
based on this destinations, i.e, all domains and paths that differ from
http://br.groups.yahoo.com, PATH=/group/superwaba/. Such form is no
efective and very bad, for don't say impossible (How I will know all
paths and subdomains into yahoo.com?). 

Thanks,
Morvan.
