Enable the Host-based Firewall Sensor Setting

To enable your Host-based Firewall rules, perform the following procedure.

Important: Carbon Black Cloud Host-based Firewall rules overwrite existing native operating system firewall policies. If a third-party firewall exists, Carbon Black Cloud is unaware of the state or priority of those firewall rules, and each solution will operate independently.

Prerequisites

• Select the Default Rule
• Add a Host-based Firewall Rule Group
• Add Host-based Firewall Rules

Procedure

1. On the left navigation pane, click Enforce > Policies.
2. Select the policy.
3. Click the Sensor tab.
4. Select the check box for Enable Host-based Firewall.
5. Click Save.
   Note: It can take up to 15 minutes for this rule to take effect and replace your native firewall.
6. Verify that the firewall is enabled in Windows Control Panel>System and Security>Windows Firewall. A notification displays that the Windows firewall settings are being managed by Carbon Black Firewall.
