Location Awareness

In many organizations, employees use both desktop and notebook computers to perform their tasks. Since notebook computers connect to multiple networks and employees physically carry them past the organization's premises, OfficeScan needs to extend protection to these computers when they disconnect from the network. Web Reputation Policies ensure client computers are protected regardless of location.

A client's location ("internal" or "external") dictates the policy applied to the computer. You need to specify whether location is based on the client computer's gateway IP address or the client's connection status with the OfficeScan server or any reference server.

To configure location awareness settings, see Computer Location.
