Configure Remote Control Settings (Windows Computers)

Applies To: WatchGuard Advanced EPDR

You can remotely connect to the Windows computers on your network from the Endpoint Security management UI to investigate a potential attack and remediate it. To enable remote control for the Windows computers on the network, you must assign a remote control settings profile to the computers you want to access.

To use the Remote Control tool, your computer and the network perimeter firewall must allow traffic to and from *.rc.pandasecurity.com (port 8080 and 443).

To configure a remote control settings profile:

  1. In WatchGuard Cloud, select Configure > Endpoints.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Select Remote Control.
  4. Select an existing security settings profile to edit, copy an existing profile, or in the upper-right corner of the page, click Add to create a new profile.
    The Add Settings or Edit Settings page opens.
