Security (EPS)

Operating System (OS) and security requirements of one of the policy’s
selected endpoint security objects before granting access.

Object
Configured endpoint security objects appear on the left. Select the
endpoint security objects to use for this policy and click the right arrow
button to add them to the selected list on the right. Use the [Shift] and/
or [Ctrl] key to select multiple objects. Select any endpoint security
objects that you want to remove from the selected list and click the left
arrow button to remove them.
The ZyWALL checks authenticated users’ computers against the policy’s
selected endpoint security objects in the order you list them here. When
a user’s computer matches an endpoint security object the ZyWALL
grants access and stops checking. Select an endpoint security object and
use the up and down arrows to change it’s position in the list. To make
the endpoint security check as efficient as possible, arrange the endpoint
security objects in order with the one that the most users should match
first and the one that the least user’s should match last.
