Anti-Ransomware Configurations

NOTE: For an overview of Anti-Ransomware, see Anti-Ransomware.

The Anti-Ransomware Configurations option allows you to add, edit and delete specific configurations of Anti-Ransomware settings.

These unique settings can then be applied to individual IBM i Endpoints. This gives you complete control over the Anti-Ransomware configuration for each Endpoint in your network.

The Anti-Ransomware Configurations panel shows the configurations that have already been defined and displays the following information:

  • Name: The unique name by which the Anti-Ransomware Configuration is identified.

  • Description: A textual description of the Anti-Ransomware Configuration.

  • Number of Endpoints: The number of Endpoints to which this Anti-Ransomware Configuration is currently applied.

How to Get There

In the Powertech Antivirus Navigation Pane choose Anti-Ransomware > Configurations.

NOTE: See also: Preferences > IBM i Anti-Ransomware Configuration.
