To confirm: Proactive Threat Protection and Network Threat Protection supported on server platforms?

Bill_K's picture

  Various docs/KB article seem to imply this, but as a sanity check:  Are SEP's firewall and intrusion detection components now supported on server platforms - specifically Windows 2003 and 2008?  Less importantly (but while I'm asking) what about Application and Device Control?

  None of the above used to be supported and I just want to make certain before setting up a server package that could brick a server. :-)

Thanks,
Bill

Firewall works fine. PTP

Firewall works fine.
PTP still is not as far as I can tell on our machines.

PTP is not recommended.

Hello,

ProActive Threat Protection is not Recommended on Server, simply because it will increase chances of False Positives on the server.

Firewall Works fine and so does the Application and Device Control with it.

Incase, if you are carrying Sybase Power Builder Application, please make sure you don't install Application and Device Control (fix is in MR6)

Thats it.

Hope that Answers your Questions.

Thanks and Regards

 Proactive threat Protection

 Proactive threat Protection has 2 components Proactive Threat Scan and Application and Device Control
on Server OS Proactive Threat Scan Doesn't work.
on 64 bit OS both don't work.

Network Threat Protection ( Firewall + IPS ) is fully functional on Server and 64 bit OS platforms.
