How to configure 'Linux - Security level 1 Profile'

• Configuration profiles let you specify a device's network access rights, overall security policy, scan schedule and other general settings.
   
• You can use a Xcitium-provided 'Default' profile, or configure your own custom profile. Any profile designated as 'Default' is automatically applied to new devices.
   
• You cannot edit the Xcitium default Linux profiles, but you can clone it and edit the copy. This article explains how to do that.

Clone 'Linux – Security Level 1 Profile'

• Login to Xcitium at https://one.xcitium.com
• Click 'Applications' > 'ITSM'
• Click 'Configuration Templates' > 'Profiles'
• Click the 'Default Profiles' tab
• Click on 'Linux – Security Level 1 profile for ITSM'
• Click the 'Clone Profile' button:

• Provide a name and description for the profile then click 'Clone':

• Your new profile is now ready for customization and deployment.

Customize the cloned profile

There are 5 tabs you can configure. Click the tab you require then the 'Edit' button as required:
