Protection Policy Migration Behavior

VIPRE has been retired from N-able N-sight RMM.

We recommend, where possible, to migrate your VIPRE Protection Policies to Bitdefender Engine Protection Policies, and re-deploy MAV-BD Bitdefender in place of any current MAV-BD Vipre Engine deployments.

The following table covers the settings mapped as part of a protection policy migration.

Uses the closest timeout value rounded down is selected (rather than rounding up as a shorter duration is safer)

Any custom extensions specified in the default Bitdefender policy are not retained during the migration process, even where the source VIPRE policy does not include custom extensions.

As Bitdefender includes a list of built-in extensions, VIPRE's default high risk extensions are not transferred over; even where the High risk extensions only option is selected in the VIPRE policy.

Remediation action for infected files

Ignore

Please note that when disinfecting a file a copy is also stored in the Quarantine, as such we have opted to map the VIPRE Quarantine option to Bitdefender's Disinfect.

Behavioral Scanning (Bitdefender Only)

As these settings are unavailable for the VIPRE engine the Bitdefender defaults for the policy are used.
Alowed Threats (VIPRE Only)

There is not a corresponding Bitdefender section for Allowed Threats therefore these settings are not mapped to the Bitdefender Policy. However if the path and name of the threat are known they may be manually added as an Exclusion in the Bitdefender policy.
Exclusions (VIPRE Exceptions)

Only custom created Always Allow rules for File with Path or Folder exceptions that do not include wildcards are mapped from VIPRE Exceptions to Bitdefender Exclusions. To match the available Bitdefender settings no other custom VIPRE Exception types are migrated.

Please be aware that system VIPRE and Bitdefender exclusions are automatically included in the Bitdefender policy and are not displayed in the Exclusions dialog.
