Shared host profiles are also tied to specific operating systems, but you can use them across white lists. 
That is, if you create multiple white lists but want to use the same host profile to evaluate hosts running 
a particular operating system across the white lists, use a shared host profile.

You can add any of the built-in shared host profiles to your compliance white lists, or you can add shared 
host profiles that you created. For more information, see 

and 

Admin 

On the Create White List page, click 

.

The Add Shared Host Profile page appears.

From the 

 drop-down list, select the shared host profile you want to add to your white list, and click 

.

The shared host profile is added to your white list and the Create White List page appears again. The 
shared host profile’s name appears in italics under Allowed Host Profiles.

You can edit a shared host profile from within a white list that uses it by clicking on the profile name 
under Allowed Host Profiles. For more information, see 

FireSIGHT

After you modify a host profile within a compliance white list, you must save the white list for your 
changes to take effect. 

If a host profile you modify belongs to a white list used in an active correlation policy, modifying the 
profile may bring hosts into or out of compliance but does not generate white list events. Further, 
modifying a shared host profile affects every white list that uses it. This may bring hosts into or out of 
compliance not only in the white list you are working with, but in other white lists as well.

As with other shared host profiles, you can edit the built-in host profiles used by the default white list. 
You can also reset them to their factory defaults. For more information, see 

Admin 

On the Create White List page, click the name of the host profile you want to modify.

The settings for the host profile appear. Note that if you are editing a shared host profile, an 

 link 

appears next to the name of the host profile. If you are editing a built-in host profile, the built-in host 
profile icon (

) also appears.

You have two options:
