Use the tabs of the Settings > General > Endpoint page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to configure parameters for endpoint software, such as how often to test connectivity and check for updates.

The page opens with the General tab displayed. Configure the options on the General tab as follows:

Under Connectivity, use the Test connectivity every field to specify how often, in minutes (between 1 and 60), endpoint clients test connectivity (5 minutes, by default).

Use the Check for updates every drop-down list to select how often (between 30 seconds and 24 hours) endpoint clients check for configuration updates (1 hour, by default).

Use the An endpoint is disconnected... field to determine after how long (between 1 and 60 hours) an endpoint client is determined to be disconnected (48 hours, by default).

Under Administration, set which Action (Permit or Block) is taken when users do not respond to a request for confirmation after attempting to perform an operation that breached policy (Block, by default).

If you do not want endpoint users to be able to un-install the endpoint client software or disable blocking or anti-tampering, select Enable endpoint administrator password, then enter and confirm the password. It must meet all of the following conditions:

Be at least 8 characters

Contain upper case characters

Contain lower case characters

Contain numbers

Contain non-alphanumeric characters

A password is not required to administer endpoint clients.

Click Save.

For the next step in configuring endpoint settings, continue with Endpoint settings: the Email Domains tab.
