You also likely have partners, vendors, or contractors who attach devices that are not owned by your organization to your network. Because you do not manage those devices, you cannot trust them to be free of malicious software, maintained with the latest security updates, or in any way in compliance with your organization's security policies.
These untrustworthy devices both on and outside of your physical network must not be permitted to access your organization's devices except where it is truly required. To mitigate this risk, you must be able to isolate the devices you trust, and restrict their ability to receive unsolicited network traffic from untrusted devices.
By using connection security and firewall rules available in Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security, you can logically isolate the devices that you trust by requiring that all unsolicited inbound network traffic be authenticated. Authentication ensures that each device or user can positively identify itself by using credentials that are trusted by the other device.
Connection security rules can be configured to use IPsec with the Kerberos V5 protocol available in Active Directory, or certificates issued by a trusted certification authority as the authentication method.
Because the primary authentication method recommended for devices that are running Windows is to use the Kerberos V5 protocol with membership in an Active Directory domain, this guide refers to this logical separation of computers as domain isolation , even when certificates are used to extend the protection to devices that are not part of an Active Directory domain.
The following illustration shows an isolated domain, with one of the zones that are optionally part of the design. The rules that implement both the isolated domain and the different zones are deployed by using Group Policy and Active Directory.
I tried this on my computer, it works. I suggest you check the notification setting of Windows Firewall. The option "Notify me when Windows Firewall blocks a new app" should be checked. I had this setting check marked all this time and even though I installed new applications, it did not ask me to do anything..
Anything else I am missing? In your computer, in the [Advanced settings], do you have "Outbound connections" in domain, private, and public tabs set to "Block"?
I just set it to Block for all outbound connections and my Windows defender, Chrome and IE stopped getting internet access. If I were to manually add Chrome to the outbound rules, it would start getting internet access again. Same for the other two apps. But, none of them gave me a "notification" when I launched them after "blocking" all outbound connections. This would be the behaviour in ZoneAlarm or Comodo. Just to add more information - I have the "Notify me when Windows Firewall blocks a new app" enabled, but all "outbound connections" in the blocked state.
The idea is of course to add very specific exceptions to the "Outbound rules". I added Chrome, IE, etc. Unfortunately, I am not getting any kind of system notification as Juke Chou implied in his post. Do you guys have these updates working while having "Outbound connections" set to block? Windows Defender also uses Windows update to get updates from Internet Server. So we need to add the following services to allowed list.
Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. There it is: "Windows Update Application Launcher". This looks encouraging, eh? By the way, I don't run zones. I have everything Public. That's the best security. It works and I can still ping my router and my router can still ping me. Also note that I also wrote the "Allow Windows Update" rule which includes not only the 'wuapp. Neither my "Allow Windows Update" rule, nor what you suggested here has solved the problem.
I'll keep noodling around for a solution and post it back here. Feel free to ask me any questions PS: Of course, if I open the outbound firewall completely which is the default , Windows Update works, but opening the outbound firewall completely is dangerous - never mind that it's the Microsoft default. Actually, Ron, that's not the Windows Firewall exceptions list. What you cite is one way to enter program allowances.
Those are completely different methods. Network traffic for protocols is allowed as long as other rules that match do not block it. To select a protocol by its number, select Custom from the list, and then type the number in the Protocol number box. On the Scope page, you can specify that the rule applies only to network traffic to or from the IP addresses entered on this page. Configure as appropriate for your design, and then click Next. On the Action page, select Block the connection , and then click Next.
On the Profile page, select the network location types to which this rule applies, and then click Next. On the Name page, type a name and description for your rule, and then click Finish.
