The Shield Status section provides a comprehensive overview of security-related services and configurations crucial for protecting endpoints from potential vulnerabilities. It comprises the following key components:
SMB1 (Server Message Block 1): The initial version of the Server Message Block protocol, historically used for file sharing and inter-device communication. In modern environments, SMB1 is often disabled due to known security vulnerabilities.
Shield Service: This core security mechanism actively monitors and defends against threats, ensuring system integrity and compliance with established security policies.
Application Control Service: A specialized service designed to manage and restrict the execution of applications within an environment. It enables administrators to enforce policies that permit only approved software to run, thereby preventing the execution of unauthorized or potentially harmful applications.
Hidden Shares: These are network resources configured to be invisible to regular users, primarily utilized for administrative access or specific security purposes.
Shield Password: This security feature enforces robust authentication measures, preventing unauthorized users from accessing sensitive systems or configurations.
