Chapter 4: Configuring RealSecure Desktop Protector

Setting Your Protection Level
Introduction Protection levels are predesigned sets of security settings developed for different types of
Web use. You can choose to have Desktop Protector block all communications with your
system, some communications with your system, or no communications with your
system. This topic shows how to:
● set your protection level
● configure Desktop Protector to switch protection levels dynamically
Note: If your system is set up to report to ICEcap Manager and ICEcap Manager has
configuration priority, you cannot set the protection level from the local agent. To change
any firewall settings, you must contact your ICEcap administrator.
