Chapter 1: Introduction to RealSecure Desktop Protector

Adaptive Protection

Introduction

Adaptive Protection automatically adapts each agent's security level according to the

 

type of network connection it is using. For example, you can set Adaptive Protection to

 

use a more restrictive security level when users are logged on over a VPN, and a less

 

restrictive security level when users are logged directly onto the network.

When to use

You may need to connect to your corporate network from inside your corporate

adaptive protection

headquarters, from your home office, or from the floor of a trade show. For example:

 

● Inside your corporate office, your firewall is automatically set to the Trusting

 

protection level.

 

● At your home office, your firewall is set to Cautious for most communications. It

 

switches to Trusting when you connect to your corporate network over a VPN, and

 

switches back to Cautious when the VPN connection closes.

 

● At a trade show, your firewall automatically switches to Paranoid when you plug into

 

the conference network. It switches to Trusting when you connect to your corporate

 

VPN, and then switches back to Paranoid when the VPN connection closes.

 

Note: Adaptive protection settings are usually sent down to a local agent from ICEcap

 

Manager. Use these instructions on your local agent only if your ICEcap administrator

 

recommends it. Your ICEcap administrator may also provide you with the correct IP

 

addresses to use.

One of the main features of Desktop Protector 3.5 is its real-time scanning capability. It constantly monitors files and applications on the system for any signs of malicious activity.
