Sandblast IE Plugin support for Enhanced Protected Mode

Johannes_Schoen — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 05:21:45 GMT

Hi Community,

we noticed, that the Sandblast browser plugin for IE is incompatible with the Enhanced Protected Mode from Internet Explorer.

Is there anybody from product team or similar, who can explain, why this plugin is incompatible and when the plugin is planned to be certified? The EPM mode from IE got a few nice security features, we would miss by deactivating it.
I guess Microsoft does a plugin-verification like all the other vendors and for EPM mode, the plugin needs to implement all the requirements - which are these and why aren't they implemented yet?

I'm thankful for any thoughts on this
Problem is described with SK154912 , but I don't think this is a permanent solution, more a workaround.

Best Regards
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

The Enhance Protection mode of IE adds additional layer of restrictions to the web extension when trying to access the file system and web sites content, this restrictions will damage the IE extension functionality.
We currently don't have plans to support this mode.
never the less, When the customer is running with Antex, he will get exploit protections to his IE browser.

Thanks,

Ziv Sahar
