Overview
Enforce is easily installed on a network appliance (the “Enforcer”) deployed in your security stack, most often between your ISP and the rest of your network. To enable and manage Enforce, you will need to activate your Enforcer in the Enforce portal, configure the software and create your policies and networks to manage your enforcement posture.
Onboarding in 7 Steps
-
Choosing the Right Deployment Option - Choose your preferred deployment method — ready-to-configure physical hardware, self-procured physical hardware, cloud/virtual infrastructure or Wi-Fi. This ensures your Enforcer is set up and ready for network integration.
-
Activate your Enforcer - Assign a non-routable IP address within your network for the Admin Interface and activate your Enforcer in the threatER Portal. This step allows Enforce to reach the internet from within your network and links your Enforcer to the portal, enabling you to complete the software configuration.
-
Review Settings in Enforce UI - Review the local Enforce settings and change the passwords for your local Enforcer user account and the command line credentials.
-
Configure Enforce Software - Adjust network and system settings to tailor Enforce to your environment. This includes setting user access controls, establishing baseline policies, and ensuring compatibility with your infrastructure.
-
Set Up Enforce Policies - Define and manage lists and rules to identify and block potential threats effectively. This step builds your first layer of network defense.
-
Deploying with Allow All Policy - Deploy your Enforcer in an "Allow All" posture. Use this phase to validate your configurations and ensure they meet your needs before moving to a blocking posture.
-
Transitioning to Blocking Posture - Move Enforce to active blocking posture. This step ensures Enforce is managing live traffic and applying your policy rules. Continue to review logs, analyze traffic and refine configurations to adapt to evolving threats and ensure optimal performance.
