Hello community,
At the moment I'm testing SEP to replace AVIRA on our network.
The clients are running fine, now I want to test SEP on the first server.
To handle all the needed firewall ports could be very complex on a few servers and I think about to install only the IPS component, not the firewall. What is your experience, is it running fine and make it sense to let the firewall uninstalled?
I mean Symantec made it possible in version 12 to separate these features - so I think to install only IPS is definetly an option to get more network protection without the complexe handling of firewall rules.
We talk only about internal servers I want to protect - public servers are on a much higher level of security and in another part of the network.
Your help and experience is much appreciated, thank you!
