Requirements for outbound communications with a Netwrix Cloud Agent
To review the security incorporated by the agent in your system, examine the target URL in the Configuration.xml file, which is located on the agent host at:
C:\ProgramData\Netwrix Cloud Agent\AgentCore\ConfigServer\Configuration.xml
You must also open the outbound TCP port 443 on the server where the Netwrix Cloud Agent resides. See the Install Agent topic
