Allow users to configure their own firewall settings.
All user-configured settings cannot be overridden by settings deployed from the Apex One server. For example, if the
user disables Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and you enable IDS on the Apex One server, IDS remains disabled
on the Security Agent
endpoint.
Enable the following settings to allow users to configure the
firewall.

The Apex One Firewall protects agents and servers on the network
using stateful inspection, high performance network virus scanning, and elimination.
If
you grant users the privilege to enable or disable the firewall and its features,
warn
them not to disable the firewall for an extended period of time to avoid exposing
the
endpoint to intrusions and hacker attacks.
If you do not grant users the privileges, the Firewall settings
you configure from the Apex One
server web console display under Network card list on the Security Agent
console.

Allow agents to send firewall logs to the Apex One
server

For details about firewall logs, see Firewall Logs.
If you select this option, configure the log sending
schedule in on the Security Settings tab.
Go to the Firewall Settings section. The
schedule only applies to agents with the firewall log sending
privilege. For instructions, see Global Firewall Settings.
