eSafe Appliance Initial Configuration
eSafe’s default security policy provides a high level of security that is
suited to most organizations. To get started, you must perform the
following actions:
Define LDAP Settings:
The LDAP server settings are defined
under in the
LDAP Configuration
page, under the
Objects
tab. Based
on the defined settings, it is possible to view LDAP information by
groups, users, or users and groups. You can then select users from
these lists.
Fine tune the URL Filter settings:
eSafe’s URL Filtering module
allows controlling access to web pages by defining which users can
access which URLs or URL categories, and when these pages can
be accessed. In the
Policy Settings mode, select Config | URL
Filter and select the Enable URL Filter Service check box.
Review the default policy settings and fine-tune them to suit your
organization.
Fine tune AppliFilter settings:
AppliFilter™ is an add-on service
that allows realtime filtering of malicious Internet content as it
enters the network. Select
Config | AppliFilter and make sure
that the
Enable AppliFilter Service check box, at the bottom
of the screen, is enabled.
Activate the Data Leakage Prevention feature (optional):
eSafe allows reducing the risk of data loss and managing compliance
with its data leakage prevention feature, that identifies who is
sending what data where and how. To activate this feature, in the
Policy Settings mode, select Config | DLP | DLP Settings.
Define internal networks:
eSafe allows defining specific IP
addresses, ranges of networks, and ports for which traffic will
NOT be inspected. In the Policy Settings mode, select
Config |
NitroInspection Configuration.
Define mail servers:
You must define all the domain names in
your organization and the IP addresses of the internal mail servers
associated with these domains. This list will also be used by
eSafe to identify internal and external mail servers. To define the
mail servers, select
Config | Email |Mail Settings | SMTP
Internal Domains.
Define alert recipients:
In the
Policy Settings mode, click the
Alerts tab and then select the Miscellaneous Parameters
option to define the sender email address, the outgoing SMTP mail
server address, and the alert subject.
Define warning messages:
For incoming email, a message can
be added to email destined to the sender or recipient. For outgoing
email, a message can be added to email destined to the sender, and
a disclaimer can be defined, if necessary. To define email warning
messages, select
Config | Email | Warning Messages.
Define redirect text:
When eSafe blocks an HTML page that is
being viewed by a user, it can redirect users to a specific URL that
will display a predefined page with a relevant notification message
or display an HTML page with customized text. To define these
messages, in the
Policy Settings mode select the Config tab and
then select
Alerts | URL Filter Warning.
A detailed description of performing these actions appears in the
eSafe SmartSuite Deployment Guide
