Configuring controlled connectivity ports

GFI EndPointSecurity enables you to select which supported connectivity ports should be controlled or not by a protection policy. You can do this on a policy-by-policy basis.

Note

Unspecified ports will be fully accessible from the target computers covered by the protection policy. As a result, GFI EndPointSecurity cannot monitor and block devices connected to a port that is not controlled by the protection policy.

To configure which ports will be controlled by a specific protection policy:

  1. Click Configuration tab > Protection Policies.
  2. From Protection Policies > Security, select the protection policy to configure.
  1. Click Security.
  2. From Common tasks, click Edit controlled ports….

Controlled connectivity ports options

  1. From the Controlled connectivity ports dialog, select/unselect the required connectivity ports that will be controlled by the protection policy, and click OK.

To deploy protection policy updates on target computers specified in the policy:

  1. Click Configuration tab > Computers.
  2. From Common tasks, click Deploy to all computers….
