By preventing communication between the hacker and your network, the hacker is rendered helpless. Management Server provides IT with a central point of control over their entire network. Client machines can be organized into groups with different security settings. Administrators can then create profiles for global, group or individual security policies, eliminating the hassle involved with individually configuring each machine.
Settings can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized changes and to enforce policy.
