Security Status

Security > Security Status

  • Similar information is provided by Info Center > Reports > Security.

The Security Status page displays the current security status of each machine ID licensed to use Endpoint Security. The list of machine IDs displayed depends on the Machine ID / Group ID filter and machine groups the user is authorized to see using System > User Security > Scopes. To display on this page, machine IDs must have the Endpoint Security client software installed on the managed machine using the Security > Install/Remove page.

Indicators include resident shield protection, mail protection, the number of unresolved threats detected, the number of threats in the virus vault and the version of security protection installed on each machine ID.

This page provides the following actions:

  • Enable Resident Shield - Click to enable resident memory anti-malware protection on selected machines IDs.
  • Disable Resident Shield - Click to disable resident memory anti-malware protection on selected machines IDs.

    Note: In some cases, security protection must be disabled to install or configure software on a managed machine.

    Note: You can also Enable/Disable Resident Shield by Agent Procedure.

  • Enable Email - Click to enable email protection on selected machines IDs.
  • Disable Email - Click to disable email protection on selected machines IDs.
  • Empty Vault - Click to empty the virus vault of all quarantined malware IDs.
  • Reboot Now - Reboots selected machines IDs. Some security updates require a reboot to install the update. If a reboot is pending, a reboot icon displays alongside the pre-update version number and the machine is still protected.
