I think the best practice is to configure a file blocking security profile

That's a good point, but I'm not sure I'd want to go that route. Manually configuring everything feels like it could be a bit of a hassle, especially if you have a lot of applications to block. Plus, what if you miss something? Option B just seems more foolproof.

You know, I was also considering option D, manually specifying the port or service. That way, you could be really granular in your control and only block the exact traffic you need to.

I agree with you, option B does seem like the most reliable choice. Blocking at the file level would ensure that the application is completely prevented from running, rather than just blocking the associated service or port.

I agree, blocking at the file level with a security profile seems like the best practice in this scenario.

Manually specifying a port/service on the Service/URL. Category tab may not be as effective as configuring a file blocking security profile.

Setting the service to application-default on the Service/URL. Category tab could also be a good choice.

I think configuring a file blocking security profile on the Actions tab is the way to go.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the best approach here, but I'm leaning towards option B. Configuring a file blocking security profile seems like it would be the most comprehensive way to block a specific application.
