The ZENworks Endpoint Security Client uses security policies to apply location security to mobile
users. Decisions on networking port availability, network application availability, file storage device
access, and wired or Wi-Fi connectivity are determined by the administrator for each location.
Security policies can be custom-created for the enterprise, individual user groups, or individual
users/machines. Security policies can allow full employee productivity while securing the endpoint,
or can restrict the employee to only running certain applications and having only authorized
hardware available to them.
IMPORTANT: Information in this section that pertains to the Endpoint Security Client has been
written for the Endpoint Security Client 3.5. For the features that are supported in Endpoint Security
Client 4.0, see the "Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Client
