1 - Device posture settings¶

After creating a workspace for new customers, the system defaults all Device Posture settings to Review. This allows you to configure your Device Posture settings based on your preferences and security requirements.

For existing customers, your current Device Posture settings will remain unchanged and are not be affected by this feature.

2 - Predefined device labels¶

Upon Workspace creation, a pre-defined set of device labels that implicitly represent the four groups of devices are included as follows:

• All devices

• Windows Desktop devices

• Windows Server devices

• macOS devices

Pre-defined labels are displayed on the Labels tab under Control Panel > Endpoint Devices. Pre-defined labels cannot be edited or deleted, and do not have an associated action menu:

Pre-defined labels are used when:

• Applying device protection settings to specific devices

• Applying device posture policies to specific devices

2.1 - Applying device protection settings to specific devices¶

Real-time Malware and Ransomware Protection settings can now be applied to a specific group of devices:

2.1.1 - Adding device label(s) to a specific device protection setting¶

The specific setting is only applied to devices with the selected device labels.

You can remove a device label from a device protection setting by selecting the delete icon inside the individual device label.

2.2 - Applying device posture policies to specific devices¶

Device posture policies can now be applied to a specific group of devices:

Coro administrators can trigger an email security ticket by configuring a list of blocked email attachment file extensions. Select Quarantine emails with attachments of these specified file types (by default, Off). Add and remove file attachment extensions using the File types list.

The list of default file extensions is as follows:

• .exe

• .dll

• .bat

• .vb
