Security settings for workstations and servers
Configure security settings profiles for workstations and servers to define how Advanced EDR protects the computers on your network against threats and malware.
Next is a description of the options available for configuring the security of your workstations and servers. We also provide practical recommendations on how to protect all computers on your network, without negatively impacting users’ activities.
For additional information about the Workstations and servers module, see:

Introduction to the security settings
The parameters for configuring the security of workstations and servers are divided into various sections. Click each of them to display a drop-down panel with the associated options. Next is a brief explanation of each section:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
|
General |
Configure updates, the removal of other security products, and file exclusions from scans. |
|
Configure the behavior of advanced protection and anti-exploit protection against APTs, targeted attacks, and advanced malware capable of leveraging exploits. |
|
|
Monitors the processes run on Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. It detects and reports threats, but does not block or delete them. Enabling Audit mode for a settings profile does not change the overall status of the protections applied to the computers that receive the settings. Nor does it change the configuration of the protections in the web console. |
