3.1 Moving Among Network Environments

Each network an end user travels to might require different security measures. The Endpoint
Security Client 3.5 provides security and protection in locations identified by available network
connections. The Endpoint Security Client 3.5 detects the network environment parameters and
switches to the appropriate location, applying the needed protection levels according to the current
security policy.
Network environment information is either stored or preset within a location. This allows the
Endpoint Security Client 3.5 to switch to a location automatically when the environment parameters
are detected.
Stored Environments: Defined by the user (see
Environment," on page
Preset Environment: Defined by the enterprise ESM Administrator through a published
security policy.
When the user enters a new network environment, the client compares the detected network
environment to any stored and preset values in the security policy. If a match is found, the Endpoint
Security Client 3.5 activates the assigned location. When the detected environment cannot be
identified as a stored or preset environment, the client activates the default Unknown location.
The Unknown location has the following presets:
Change Locations = Permitted
Change Firewall Settings = Not permitted
Save Location = Not permitted
