SEP and SEPM 12.1.7061.6600 with mostly W7 clients and Server 2012R2 management servers for SEP.
We routinely get lists of IP addresses or domains that the folks in central IT have collected that are related to risks/malware/phishing/bots and so on. The list is simply a text list of either IP addresses or domain names like risks-R-us.com or IP addresses or ranges for same.
I also get lists of currently known spammers, botnet locations, you know, "malware domains", same as from the central state folks, a list of domains and/or IP addresses.
Instead of sitting for 24 hours and typing in over 1,000 domains or addresses is there any way at all to IMPORT these into SEP - like OTHER firewalls can do?
Many firewall products allow you to subscribe to lists that help keep things up to date, or you can search and find lists of stolen IP addresses like spamhaus and phishtank publish and import these lists into other products. So far I've not found any way in SEP, and when I mention to others about their lists and such, they say "gee, we simply import the list into our firewalls"...... and they sound surprised when I suggest I find no way to do this with SEP.
So - do I spend hundreds of hours a year typing these lists into the SEP console, which always times-out after a while and then I have to log in and start over again if I get up for a, wel, uh, restroom break after a few hours........... or can they be imported somehow?
(Please tell me they can be imported, unless that would be untrue.............thanks)
