Add the Devices you want to Protect
Create and Configure your Protected Networks (Overlays) and Trust
To create a protected network in your Airwall Solution, you create an overlay (a secure network), add protected devices to it, and then set up the trust policy between devices and Airwall Edge Services (Airwall Gatewaysand Airwall Agents) on the protected network.
Connect People’s Devices to yourAirwall secure network
For people to connect to your Airwall secure network and access resources, they need to install the Airwall Agent software for their device and you’ll need to grant them access. The easiest way to do that is with Airwall Invitations.
Invite People to Join your Airwall secure network
Here are two ways to use Airwall Invitations to invite people and grant them access
Manually Add People’s devices
You can also have users install and connect manually. They first install the Airwall Agent on the computer or mobile device they are going to use to connect, and then request to connect to your network. An Airwall secure network administrator then grants these devices access, manages them, and then adds them to the overlays and sets up trust policy.
Install Airwall Agents
Point the people who you want to connect to these topics to install an Airwall Agent:
Connect Airwall Agents to your Airwall secure network
Then point the people who have installed an Airwall Agent to these topics to connect to your Conductor:
Grant Access and Set Trust Policy for People's Devices
You can then grant the requests and set what resources the people connecting to your Airwall secure network can access.
