A HIP Profile is a collection of host information profile objects that
are evaluated together, either for monitoring or for security policy enforcement.
When you create your HIP Profiles, you can combine the HIP objects and HIP Profiles
you previously created by using Boolean logic, such that when a traffic flow is
evaluated against the resulting HIP Profile, it either matches or does not match. If
there is a match, the corresponding policy rule is enforced. If there is no match,
the flow is evaluated against the next rule, as with any other policy matching
criteria.
- You can configure HIP Profiles from .
- Click Add HIP Profile.
- Enter a Name and Description to identify the profile.
- Click within the Match field to open the HIP Profile builder.
- Select the HIP object or profile that you want to use as match criteria from the list.
- Select a Boolean operator (And, And). If you want the HIP Profile to evaluate the object as a match only when the criteria in the object are not true for a flow, select the Not check box before adding the object.
- Select another HIP object or profile to evaluate against the first HIP object.
- Continue adding match criteria for the profile that you're building, making sure to select the appropriate Boolean operator radio button (And or Or) between each addition, and using the Not check box when appropriate. The HIP Profile can contain up to 2,048 characters in length.
- When creating a complex Boolean expression, you must manually add the parenthesis in the proper places in the Match text box to ensure that the HIP Profile is evaluated using the logic you intend.
- Save and Add your HIP Profile.
- To manage your HIP Profiles, you can select an existing profile from the HIP Notifications table or click Add in the Edit Global Agent Settings page to open the HIP Notifications window.From there, click Manage HIP Profile to view the list of HIP Profiles that you have configured. You can select a HIP Profile and Delete, Clone, or Move it. You can also Add a HIP Profile from here.
Create HIP-Enabled Security Rules on Your Gateways
As a best practice, you should create your security rules and test that they
match the expected flows (based on the source and destination criteria) before
adding your HIP profiles. By doing this, you can better determine the proper
placement of the HIP-enabled rules within the policy.
- On the firewall that's hosting your gateway, select , and then select the rule to which you want to add a HIP profile.
- On the Source tab, make sure the Source Zone is a zone for which you enabled User-ID.
- On the Source tab under Source Device, Add the HIP Profiles used to identify devices (you can add up to 63 HIP profiles to a rule).
- Click OK to save the rule.
- Commit the changes.
