Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management

Configuring Firewall in Knox

Configure Firewall settings to monitor network connections on the user's mobile device.

Firewall can be configured only for Samsung devices.

To configure Firewall on a user's mobile device:

  1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices)Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
  2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
  3. Select Android and go to the Samsung Knox settings section.
  4. On the Firewall card, click Settings.

    The Firewall window opens.

  5. Enable the settings using the Firewall toggle switch.
  6. In the Internet access drop-down list, select the Firewall mode. Depending on its operating mode, Firewall monitors connections established by the user's mobile device:
    • If you want to allow inbound and outbound connections of all installed apps, select Allow for all apps. This mode is selected by default.
    • If you want to block all network activity except for several specified apps, select Allow for listed apps.
  7. If you selected Allow for listed apps as the Firewall mode, create a list of apps for which all network activity is allowed:
    1. In the Apps with internet access section, click Add.

      The Add app window opens.

    2. In the App name field, enter the name of the mobile app.
    3. In the Package name field, enter the system name of the mobile app package (for example, com.mobileapp.example).
    4. Click Add.

    The new app for which Firewall is disabled appears in the list.

    You can modify or delete mobile apps in the list using the Edit and Delete buttons at the top of the list.

  8. Click OK.
  9. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

Mobile device settings are changed after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
