Deploy App Settings in the Windows Registry
You can enable deployment of GlobalProtect
app settings to Windows endpoints prior to their first connection
to the GlobalProtect portal by using the Windows Registry. Use the
options described in the following table to use the Windows Registry
to customize app settings for Windows endpoints.
In
addition to using the Windows Registry to deploy GlobalProtect app
settings, you can enable the GlobalProtect app to collect specific
Windows Registry information from Windows endpoints. You can then
monitor the data and add it to a security rule to use as matching
criteria. Endpoint traffic that matches registry settings you define
can be enforced according to the security rule. Additionally, you
can set up custom checks to Collect
Application and Process Data From Endpoints.
