Using Tech Console
The Security definition is global and applies to all machines, or in other words it can’t be
configured on a per device basis. The categories included in the definition have slightly different
nuances on Windows versus Mac user machines, but they are mostly the same in the context of
the particular operating system.
There are six areas that determine whether the device is “Healthy” or it is “At Risk.”
Windows/Personal Firewall
Possible settings are:
On
Off
You may select either or both options based on your environment. Setting this to On means that
Tech Console will check to determine whether the firewall provided by the operating system is
present and turned on for every user in the List. If so, this setting will pass the “healthy” checklist.
This check does not include the ability to understand third-party firewall applications. If you use a
product outside of the one provided by the Windows or Mac operating systems, then you may
want to check both On and Off so that this category is fundamentally always healthy because you
are managing that aspect of security independently.
Operating System Updates
Possible settings are:
Automatic (Download and Install)
Download (Don’t Install)
Notify Only
Disabled
You may select any individual setting, a combination of two or more, or all four settings if this is
not a setting you care to have impact your definition of a Healthy computer.
Virus Protection
Possible settings are:
On
Off
You may select either or both options based on your environment. Setting this to On means that
Tech Console will check to determine whether the operating system reports that Anti-Virus
protection is available and running on the machine. This category may not be modified from the
Security tab, as it is necessary to install the Anti-Virus software, not just change a setting on the
user machine.
Malware/Spyware
Possible settings are:
On
Off
