Whitelisting is made easier! From now on, the only thing you will need to do is to add file paths under “Global Whitelist” default file group variable (empty by default) and voila! All necessary exclusions are already in place on several security-related components, like Antivirus, Containment, HIPS and Firewall.
Moreover, additional whitelisting rules for commonly used applications are added on HIPS, Containment and Firewall sections on default profiles. Additional rules are disabled by default, where you can enable them if needed.
