Network isolation

ESET Mail Security provides you with an option to block the network connection of your server called network isolation. In some extreme scenarios, you may want to isolate a server from the network as a preventive measure. For example, if you find the server has been infected with malware or the machine has otherwise been compromised.

By activating the network isolation, all network traffic is blocked except the following:

•Connectivity to the Domain Controller remains

•ESET Mail Security is still able to communicate

•If present, ESET Management Agent and ESET Inspect On-Prem Connector can communicate over the network

Activate and deactivate network isolation using eShell command or ESET PROTECT client task.

eShell

In interactive mode:

Activate network isolation: network advanced set status-isolation enable

Deactivate network isolation: network advanced set status-isolation disable

Alternatively, you can create and run a batch file using Batch / Script mode.

ESET PROTECT

•Activate network isolation via client task.

•Deactivate network isolation via client task.

When network isolation is activated, ESET Mail Security status changes to red with a message Network access blocked.
