Adding a Firewall Profile

  1. Go to Agents > Firewall > Profiles.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Click Enable this profile to allow Apex One to deploy the profile to Security Agents.
  4. Type a name to identify the profile and an optional description.
  5. Select a policy for this profile.
  6. Specify the agent endpoints to which Apex One applies the policy. Select endpoints based on the following criteria:

    • IP address

    • Domain: Click the button to open and select domains from the agent tree.

      Note:

      Only users with full domain permissions can select domains.

    • Endpoint name: Click the button to open, and select Security Agent endpoints from, the agent tree.

    • Platform

    • Logon name

    • NIC description: Type a full or partial description, without wildcards.

      Tip:

      Trend Micro recommends typing the NIC card manufacturer because NIC descriptions typically start with the manufacturer’s name. For example, if you typed "Intel", all Intel-manufactured NICs will satisfy the criteria. If you typed a particular NIC model, such as "Intel(R) Pro/100", only NIC descriptions that start with "Intel(R) Pro/100" will satisfy the criteria.

    • Agent location: Select from the following:

      • Internal - Security Agents can connect to a configured reference server

        Note:

        Click Edit reference server list to configure location settings.

        For more information, see Reference Servers.

      • External - Security Agents cannot connect to a configured reference server

  7. Select whether to grant users the privilege to change the firewall security level or edit a configurable list of exceptions to allow specified types of traffic.

    For details, see Firewall Policies.
