  • 1.  Recommendations for baseline firewall on Windows Servers

    Posted Apr 21, 2025 11:11 AM

    As the subject says, looking for recommendations for baseline firewall on Windows Servers. Are most users just starting with a default firewall policy in SES Cloud or rolling their own from scratch? 

    Also, what about the Allow all applications rule? Leaving it enabled or disable it and add specific apps/ports as needed?

    Hi Wahorn / Ashley H, 

    Thanks for using the Broadcom Community!

    For our best practices involving running Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) on Windows Servers, we suggest you refer to kb:

    Along with the above we suggest you start with either the default firewall policy in SES cloud or create your own (for testing) and then modify it to meet your needs. 

    I hope this helps.

    Best,
