How to block Coin mining programs?

[TAEKBOM_Kim]

Hi mates.

Our customer wants to prevent the coin mining programs(Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple...etc).

Is it possible with the Checkpoint solutions(Security Gateway, SandBlast TE, SandBlast Agent...etc)?

He wants to buy a solution that blocks coin mining program communication.

Hello,

Use Application control Blade on firewall and block the Cryptocurrency category.

Hello you also have some IPS signatures

And Sandlblast Agent will detect malicious cryptominers .
