Using Enforced Client
Enforced Client consists of two main components for managing security:
The client software: Software installed on each client computer. The client software runs in
the background to download updates and protect the computer from threats. It also provides
users access to the basic functions of their SonicWALL protection services, such as scanning
files, folders, and email messages.
The SonicWALL SecurityCenter: A website for administrative functions, where you can
centrally manage the protection services for your account. Most administrative tasks are
performed from the SecurityCenter.
Enforced Client is designed for hands-off management. After installing the software on client
computers, you receive regular emails that summarize the security status of all client computers
on your account, and notify you of actions required to address vulnerabilities. Status emails
contain a link to your SecurityCenter website, where you can view detailed reports and
instructions for resolving problems.
In small organizations, status emails might be all that is needed to assure you that your
computers are safe. If you manage a large account or want more proactive, hands-on
involvement, you can take advantage of the tools available on the SecurityCenter.
