EMS and endpoint profiles

In EMS, administrators can configure an endpoint profile. Administrators then include the profile in an endpoint policy, which they apply to groups of endpoints. Profiles defines the configuration for FortiClient software on endpoints. The profile consists of the following sections:

  • Remote Access
  • ZTNA Connection Rules
  • Web Filter
  • Vulnerability Scan
  • Malware Protection
  • Sandbox
  • Firewall
  • System Settings
  • XML Configuration

When the endpoint receives the configuration information in the endpoint profile as part of an endpoint policy, it automatically updates FortiClient settings. FortiClient settings are locked and read-only when EMS provides the configuration in a profile.

For information on configuring endpoint profiles using EMS, see the FortiClient EMS Administration Guide.
