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.

For devices, only those HIP profiles will be displayed which are used in firewall rules.

Note To verify compliance and the operation of filtering rules that use a HIP profile as a condition, a Network access control at the host level module license is required.

When creating a profile, provide the following settings:
