third-party applications.

metadata, the firejail is applied.
● Medium—This profile enables you to install the following types of third-party application packages or files:
○ Unsigned Debian files with or without metadata
○ Custom-signed Debian files
○ Dell-signed applications
● Low—This profile enables you to install all types of file extensions, such as, Debian, Bundle, Python script, Shell script,
Javascript, Image file extensions, and VLC extensions.
For more information about security profiles, see the Dell Hybrid Client 1.x Security Guide at www.dell.com/support.
You can use Wyse Management Suite to configure the security profile settings. For more information about how to configure
the security profiles, see the Dell Hybrid Client Version 1.x Administrator's Guide at www.dell.com/support.
Supports Power Profiles
Power Profiles provide efficient power management capabilities for devices that are powered by Dell Hybrid Client. This feature
is newly added for user personalization. The available Power Profile options are as below:
● Energy Savings—This mode saves power on your device by reducing system performance.
● Balanced—By default, the Balanced power mode is selected. This mode balances energy consumption and system
performance by adapting the processor speed of the device to your activity.
● Maximum Performance—This mode maximizes system performance by running processor at higher speeds.
NOTE:
Power Profile is also supported for Device Settings Data Personalization along with previously supported options
from Dell Hybrid Client 1.1.
Supports Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Dell Hybrid Client enables you to connect to your corporate network from home or external networks using a virtual private
network. Dell Hybrid Client uses the OpenConnect client that is based on the SSL protocol for connecting to a VPN connection.
The VPN option is disabled by default and it supports GlobalProtect and Cisco Anyconnect.
Supports User Data Encryption using ZFS file system
Dell Hybrid Client is designed to protect a domain user's data such as user files, user database, and user application details.
Dell Hybrid Client uses the ZFS file system to encrypt the user home directory. Each user home directory is encrypted with an
autogenerated passphrase. When a user logs in to the device, the user home directory of the user is automatically mounted by
ZFS. When the user logs out of the device, the user home directory is unmounted by ZFS.
For more information about User Data Encryption using ZFS file system, see the Dell Hybrid Client 1.x Administrator's Guide at
