Server-side protection

This feature defines whether Active Protection protects network folders that are shared by you from the external incoming connections from other servers in the network that may potentially bring threats.

The availability of this feature depends on the service quotas that are enabled for your account.

Default setting: Off.

This feature is enabled by default if the Advanced Security + XDR pack is enabled (from C24.11, this feature and Active Protection are included as part of the Advanced Security + XDR pack).

Server-side protection is not supported for Linux.
