Server Security

Ivanti Endpoint Security limits access to only authorized users. Referring to the definitions in this topic will help you understand how security operates within Windows and the product.

There are multiple layers of security for Ivanti Endpoint Security. These layers include:

Web Site Authentication: Internet Information Services (IIS) controls authentication for access to the Ivanti Endpoint Security Web site, which means the operating system itself is validating credentials.

Web Site Encryption via SSL: SSL provides an encrypted wrapper around all Web communication to and from the product. Therefore, installing Ivanti Endpoint Security with SSL provides an additional level of protection.

User (Security) Roles: Every feature, page, and action throughout Ivanti Endpoint Security is assigned to a series of access rights. These access rights combine to form a user role. Roles also contain a list of accessible endpoints and endpoint groups. Regardless of how a user is authenticated, the access and permissions are defined solely by the Ivanti Endpoint Security administrator.
