Can we hide Wi-Fi network SSIDs using Hexnode?

Hey everyone, I wanted to hide some of the open Wi-Fi network SSIDs from the list of available networks for the Windows devices in my organization, to prevent the employees from trying to connect to it to access organizational information through such vulnerable networks. These Wi-Fi networks are for guest use only. Is there any Hexnode feature that can do this hiding?

So… fileless malware is a thing now?

I came across an article about fileless malware and I’m confused. How do you even have malware without a file? I always thought viruses needed to install something before causing damage. If anyone can break it down in normal human language, that would help.

allowlisted websites not working on windows web content filtering

Hey everyone, I’m running into something odd with Web Content Filtering on our Windows devices. I’ve got a policy with a bunch of configurations bundled together, including an allowlist for specific websites. I am seeing a discrepancy where some allowlisted sites work perfectly, but others don’t. For example, I allowlisted www.gmail.com, but when a user…

Disabling Office Macros

My company requires Office Macros are disabled. For Winodws and MacOS, this is not a built in setting in Hexnode policies. I cannot find any Powershell scripts or batch files to run and enable this setting. Can this be built in?

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

I think it would be a killer feature for managing Windows systems if you could add Group Policy Objects functionality to Hexnode MDM. It will require major work in the Windows Agent but I think this could really set you apart from the competition. Suggestion on how to implement it: Give the Hexnode admin the…
