The EndpointSecurity Client 3.5 provides security and protection in locations identified by available networkconnections. The Endpoint Security Client 3.5 detects the network environment parameters andswitches to the appropriate location, applying the needed protection levels according to the currentsecurity policy.Network environment information is either stored or preset within a location. This allows theEndpoint Security Client 3.5 to switch to a location automatically when the environment parametersare detected. Stored Environments: Defined by the user (see Section 3.2.1, “Saving a NetworkEnvironment,” on page 16). Preset Environment: Defined by the enterprise ESM Administrator through a publishedsecurity policy.When the user enters a new network environment, the client compares the detected networkenvironment to any stored and preset values in the security policy. If a match is found, the EndpointSecurity Client 3.5 activates the assigned location. When the detected environment cannot beidentified as a stored or preset environment, the client activates the default Unknown location.The Unknown location has the following presets: Change Locations = Permitted Change Firewall Settings = Not permitted Save Location = Not permitted
