  • 1.  SEP for logging only

    Posted Aug 19, 2019 10:57 AM

    Hi Team,

     

    Can we implement something for SEP to not block traffic from a detected “offender” and instead just logging this?

    Is it something we need to do on central server?

     

    Regards

    Dev

    Have one more doubt alonwith above one , 

    Is there a way to whitelist IP addresses with SEP and could we say that traffic from source X is not screened?

    Hi Devbrat,

    Thansk for the post.  An admin on the SEPM has great power, in the IPS and Exceptions/Exclusions policies, to accomplish what you are looking for.

    I strongly recommend that exclusions are used only by the client groups that absolutely need them.  Do not open a security hole for the whole organization!

    Hi ,

    As the post below does not explicitely says how not to stop the attack after getting detected by SEP , In my case I just want to get the logs in not to stop them by IPS module, Is it possible to do on client end?

    As a second link https://support.symantec.com/us/en/article.TECH162264.html I would need to screen out the IP what I understood from post that IU need to create exception policy in SEP and then attached to target machine?

    I am more intrested to unblock specific IPs to get identified by IPS functionality and should be only logged functionality as threat detected, would this be possible?

    Regards

    Dev
