HIP profiles

The Host Information Profile (HIP) is a way to collect and analyze information on the level of security of a device with the UserGate Client software installed. An HIP profile is a set of HIP objects used to check if the device meets the security (compliance) requirements. You can use an HIP profile to configure flexible policies for access to a network zone or application.

Note To verify compliance and the operation of firewall rules that use a HIP profile as a condition, a Network Access Control at the NGFW Level module license is required.

When creating a profile, provide the following settings:

Name

Description

Enabled

If the profile is used in firewall rules, then if it is disabled, it will be marked in gray.

Important! If the profile is disabled, the firewall rule continues to work without the compliance check.
