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
Network isolation is available for: •Windows—ESET Endpoint Antivirus/Security and server security products. •macOS—ESET Endpoint Security for macOS version 8 and later. |
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. |
