How to block Coin mining programs?

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.
