A Kill All NICs policy which will stop all network traffic except for LANDesk management, Intel
AMT, DNS, and DHCP traffic, thus isolating the client system from the network except for system
management functions.
Note: In LANDesk 8.8 there is no GUI to create or modify System Defense filters or policies. Currently
all modifications have to be made to the XML pages used for System Defense.
Once SD triggers an alert, the alert is displayed in the LSM log. LANDesk and Intel AMT limit network
access by replacing the current client policy with the Kill All NICs policy when SD is triggered. The client
machine is also placed in the Remediation queue, which can be found in Configure | System Defense
| Remediation. Once the machine is remediated, the Kill All NICs policy is removed and the previous
policy is re-applied. The administrator must manually perform the actual remediation of removing the
virus or spyware, or fixing whatever caused the SD to be triggered.
