Courts firewalls deny all outbound traffic except an allowlist of SaaS destinations. Sensors will appear offline after install unless which step happens first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The sensor is a two-way radio that only works if the tower is on the allowlist. Open the documented Carbon Black Cloud destinations first or the SOC just sees a graveyard of offline devices. SMB to NSX Manager and GI packaging do not give the agent its cloud path.
Full Explanation
CB Defense sensors require documented Carbon Black Cloud egress destinations and ports. Installing without that allowlist produces devices that look offline from the console even though the MSI ran. NSX-T Manager SMB and vRNI TLS exceptions are unrelated connectivity. Guest Introspection does not remove the need for CBC sensor cloud communication.
