What's New in 1.2
Intrusion Defense Firewall 1.2
Location Awareness
Location Awareness lets users write Rules which can be automatically enabled or disabled depending on
the Computer's environment. This is useful for mobile laptops which might require different firewall rules
depending on whether they are on or off domain.
Isolated Interfaces
The Isolated Interfaces capability allows users to write rules which only allow one network interface to be
active at any one time, thus preventing bridging attacks. Interfaces can be given priorities to set the order
in which the Client Plug-in determines which one will be active. The Rules governing isolated interfaces
can be associated with Location Awareness.
Navigation Pane
The main navigation pane in the Server Plug-in has a new design that is more robust, faster, and far
easier to use.
Each area of functionality loads independently meaning far improved load times for each window.
The properties of individual Computers and Security Profiles are now displayed in a GUI that
mirrors the main IDF Server Plug-in window.
Rules can be assigned to all interfaces on a Computer or to a specific interface only.
The new Status/Action oriented design means that whatever you want to do with your Computer
is only a click or two away. For instance, the Monitoring section of the navigation menu has
been removed, and you can now get events for each separate module (DPI, Firewall, etc.).
Alert Configuration has been moved from the main navigation tree and can now be found on
the System > System Settings > System tab.
Terminology
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) has been renamed Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) . We
have renamed the IPS/IDS functionality as the generic industry-defined term "Deep Packet
Inspection" (DPI).
Contexts. These new advanced Components are part of the Location Awareness feature.
Contexts can be attached to Firewall Rules and DPI Rules, limiting the Rules so that they will only
function in a certain context. This allows Firewall functionality to be enabled or disabled based on
various properties of the Computer's environment.
License is a new navigation pane function that enables you to view and change your Trend Micro
license information. The update license functionality is no longer available on the System >
Updates menu.
