What is the main function of Adaptive Mode in the ENS Firewall?

The main function of Adaptive Mode in the ENS (Endpoint Security) Firewall is to create automatic allow rules for certain traffic. This mode is designed to enhance security while maintaining usability by allowing the firewall to observe network traffic over a period. As it analyzes this traffic, the firewall identifies patterns and behaviors, determining which types of traffic are benign or legitimate. It subsequently creates dynamic allow rules for this recognized traffic, thus minimizing disruptions for users and ensuring that normal, safe activity can continue without needing constant prompts or manual intervention.

This approach is particularly beneficial in environments where users frequently access various external services or applications, as it helps balance security needs with user experience. The firewall effectively adapts to the network environment while still maintaining a protective stance against potentially harmful traffic.
