Security
- Set your TCP Service password. This password protects the command line based CLI access to the packet engine. It is highly recommended to set this with a secure one.
Cloud Threat Intelligence
The Cloud Threat Intelligence data is queried real time when a connection attempt is made through your network. It helps us to respond to malware and wireless outbreaks in real time and very fast.
The engine processes the request, queries to "SVN Cloud" in real-time and decides whether it will be blocked or allowed. We check against 140+ Million Websites, under 120+ categories in milliseconds.
Cloud Threat Intel settings lets you;
- Enable/Disable the cloud reputation and web categorization
- Set local domain settings to be excluded from cloud queries
Updates & Support
- Self Health Check: If enabled "Self Health Check" monitors the system's memory, CPU, disk usage and core services if they're working correctly, and raises alerts (still in development) if anything goes wrong. The Check also stops the relevant services if they're consuming excessive system resources.
- Check for Updates Automatically: Checks automatically for the updates and creates a notification on the status page.
- Update Databases and Threat Intelligence Data Automatically: Checks automatically for the updates and creates a notification on the status page.
- Enable Generation of Support Data: If enabled, Sensei collects supporting data during unusual events and crashes. You can share this data while opening a ticket to us.
