Managed Firewall

Danielle Painter

Support the ability to manage the built-in Windows firewall on endpoints. This would allow for "patching holes" and brings in the potential for a "lockdown" mode when malware hits.

Yes, the ability to configure rules to open ports across an installation is a basic, much needed feature. We just signed up and implemented Huntress, and I was surprised the feature was not there, since it is so basic. It would have influenced our decision to use huntress. We tell our customers we have managed AV through Huntress management of Defender, but without a feature like this, management is greatly limited. Please please address

Matteo Lo Piccolo

Any update on this? Would definitely be a game changer!

David Gilbey

Would really like the ability to add/remove rules and see it within Huntress Dashboard since that is what Im using as central Dashboard for AV related stuff but the Firewall being managed by another product or on EndPoint directly via Powershell or whatever, takes away this central dashboard for me a bit. Thanks

Anthony Rankine

Would be nice feature to also have suggested or recommended rules that can easily be applied across orgs or hosts.

Moshe Halberstam

Any update on this request?

James Fouracre

this would be really nice

Please make firewall management a priority! My initial interaction with the platform has been fantastic, but this is a glaring hole. I can't replace my current AV because all this tells me is if the firewall is on or off. Really baseline info, great, but I have to get other programs to try to cover the gap. Having a user open holes in the firewall is almost as easy as turning it off. For reference as devs work on this, it needs to function in a domain environment and outside of one where a client is just using workgroups.

Huntress now supports the ability to see if you have Windows Defender firewall enabled or disabled across your account or organizations.

James O'Leary: Great. So is it just an off alert at this point. Or does it tell us any greater details about the firewall?

James O'Leary

Jonathan: As of right now this is just a widget in the EDR dashboard. This is the first step that we intend to iterate on so we'd love to hear any feedback that you have!

Alice'la Stracke'la

James O'Leary: Is this currently available in production? The only place I see the Firewall referenced is if you drill into an EDR agent it shows the FW status as enabled or disabled. Is there an ability to see this on any sort of list of agents? It doesn't do any good to have to click into every machine to see if the FW is enabled.

James O'Leary

Alice'la Stracke'la: It looks like we communicated this a bit too early, you will see this in the portal next week. Sorry for the confusion.

Manning Salazar

James O'Leary We are still anxiously waiting for the ability to see and manage the ports are opened on the defender firewall.

Andy Smith

This would be huge and one of the largest barriers of fully moving away from S1. Any traction on this?

Please! Also allow us to increase the time out of the console.
