About working with Firewall Policies
The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager includes a default Firewall Policy with firewall rules and firewall settings for the office environment. The office environment is normally under the protection of corporate firewalls, boundary packet filters, or antivirus servers. Therefore, it is normally more secure than most home environments, where limited boundary protection is available.
When the console is installed for the first time, it adds a default Firewall Policy to each group automatically. Every time a new location is added, the console copies a Firewall Policy to the default location automatically.
If the default protection is not appropriate, it can be customized using the Firewall Policy for each location, such as for a home site or customer site. If the default Firewall Policy is not what is needed, it can be edited or replaced with another shared policy.
Firewall Policies include the following elements:
Firewall rules |
Firewall rules are policy components that control how the firewall protects computers from malicious incoming traffic and applications. The firewall automatically checks all incoming and outgoing packets against these rules, and allows or blocks the packets based on information specified in rules. |
Smart traffic filters |
Allows the specific types of traffic that are required on most networks such as DHCP, DNS, and WINS traffic. |
Traffic and stealth settings |
Detects and blocks traffic that comes from certain drivers, protocols, and other sources. |
Peer-to-peer authentication settings |
Blocks a remote computer from connecting to a client computer until the client computer has authenticated that remote computer. |
A location can be set to client control or mixed control so that the user can customize the Firewall Policy.
See Configuring Network Threat Protection settings for mixed control.
Firewall Policies can be edited or created similarly to the way other types of policies can be edited or created. Firewall Policies can be assigned, withdrawn, replaced, copied, exported, imported, or deleted.
Typically a policy can be assigned to multiple groups in the security network. Create a non-shared, location-specific policy if there are specific requirements for a particular location.
