Quarantine an Endpoint

When an endpoint is infected, that endpoint can be quarantined so that the traffic is blocked. This will prevent further infection of endpoints in the network. Trellix IPS provides the option to quarantine an endpoint for specific time periods. This provides time to fix the endpoint. You can either quarantine the source IP or the destination IP which blocks the traffic.

Note

If the source IP is behind a proxy server, the proxy server IP is quarantined. Consequently, all traffic through the proxy server gets quarantined.

Note

Quarantine endpoint is not applicable for the Central Manager.

1. Navigate to Analysis → <Admin Domain Name> → Attack Log.
2. Select the alert whose IP has to be quarantined.
3. Click Other Actions, and select Quarantine Endpoint. Click the endpoint IP address you want to quarantine.

   
   
   

   If the endpoint is added to the list of quarantined endpoints, a message is displayed that quarantine is successful. If the endpoint is already quarantined, a message displays that the endpoint IP is already present in the Quarantine list.
   The Add to Quarantine pop-up opens.
4. Update the following fields:

   Option	Definition
   IP Address	Enter the IP address of the endpoint.
   Device	Select the specific device of the endpoint whose traffic originating from the IP address you want to block.
   Quarantine Duration	Select the quarantine duration from the drop-down list.
   Remediate	Select the checkbox to redirect the configured endpoint to the configured remediation portal. Note You can configure the remediation portal settings in Devices → Global → IPS Device Settings → Quarantine → Remediation Portal. Remediation cannot be configured for IPv6 address. The checkbox and the information icon for remediation is not displayed if you enter an IPv6 address in the IP Address field.

5. Click Quarantine.
