Configuring profiles

You can create and configure separate profiles for Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints and for Chromebook endpoints. You can also edit the default profiles.

When you install FortiClient EMS, a default profile is created. EMS applies this profile to any groups you create. The default profile is designed to provide effective levels of protection. There are separate default profiles for Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints and for Chromebook endpoints.
