Devices > Policy
Configure firewall policies to prevent unwanted network connections initialized from an external device or programs running on a mobile device.
Mobile Security provides two filtering methods for the firewall feature:
Predefined firewall security levels: enable you to select one of the pre-set security levels to quickly configure the firewall policies.
Customizable exceptions: you can configure exceptions to block or allow specified traffic on the mobile devices. Exceptions have priority over predefined firewall security levels.
In the Device Management screen, select a group from the mobile device tree, and then click Policy. The Policy pop-up screen displays.
Click Firewall Policy on the left menu.
Under Firewall Policy, select how Mobile Security should treat network traffic on mobile devices.
Enable firewall
Enable Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is built into the Mobile Security firewall feature to block attempts from external sources from continuously sending requests to the mobile devices. Such attempts may constitute a denial of service (DoS) attack and can render the targeted mobile devices too busy to accept other connections.
Security level
High: blocks all inbound and outbound traffic.
Normal: enables all outbound traffic but blocks all inbound traffic.
Low: enables all inbound and outbound traffic.
Do one of the following:
For the root group, select Apply changes to all groups and send SMS notification messages to all mobile devices after clicking 'Save'.. This action copies policies to all sub-groups.
For the sub-group, select Send SMS notification messages to mobile devices after clicking 'Save'.. This action sends an SMS notification message to Mobile Device Agents about the configuration changes.
