Network isolation

ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint provides you with an option to block network connection of your server called network isolation. In some extreme scenarios, you may want to isolate a server from the network as preventive measure. For example, if you found the server has been infected with a 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 Security for Microsoft SharePoint is still able to communicate

If present, ESET Management Agent and ESET Enterprise Inspector Agent can communicate over the network

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