Configuring Threat Management Console

The Threat Management Console Manage page provides a way for you, acting as the administrator, to configure privacy and VPN settings for the environment, as well as a view to the audit logs that collect all activity on the active devices.

General settings

The Manage > General tab provides basic information about the environment and an alternate location for modifying the selected language. It also provides the option to change the administrator password.

Device Inactivity Configuration

This configuration controls how long the system waits before determining that a device is dormant:

  1. Allowed Inactivity Time: The maximum time a device can be inactive before the device is entered into the warning timer, aka Grace Period. Enter a valid number in the left box, and choose Seconds, Minutes, or Hours in the right box.

  2. Warning Interval (Grace Period): After the device exceeds the Allowed Inactivity Timer, it enters the grace period where it receives a warning. If more than one warning is required, enter a valid number in the left box to configure the interval between warnings, and choose Seconds, Minutes, or Hours in the right box.

  3. Max Warnings: The number of warnings that can be sent to the device in the grace period. An entry of ‘0’ disables the grace period.

  4. All Android devices use AFW/Enterprise: Click this box if all of your Android devices use Android Enterprise (AE) or AE Work Profile mode. When enabled, it triggers a threat event if either of the client profiles (work or personal) exceeds the Allowed Inactivity Time.
