Isolate computer from network

The Isolate computer from network task isolates the selected computers from the network and all connections, except those needed for correct operation of ESET products, will be blocked. The allowed connections include the following:

computer obtains an IP address

communication of ekrn.exe, ESET Management Agent, ESET Inspect Connector

login to a domain


warning

Network isolation is compatible only with ESET security products (Endpoint Antivirus/Security and server security products).

Network isolation will likely interrupt the normal operation of the computers and you should use it in emergency cases only (e.g. if a severe security issue is identified on a managed computer). You can end the isolation with a client task.

Select one of the following options to create a new Client Task:

Click Tasks > New > add_new_defaultClient Task.

Click Tasks > select the desired task type and click New > add_new_defaultClient Task.

Click the target device in Computers and select icon_tasks Tasks > add_new_defaultNew Task.
