There are two ways an Android device communicates with the SVC server. One is the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) notification and the other is periodical polling. Android devices leverage these to receive commands, apply server configurations, and send malware logs.

As the administrator, set up the following firewall rules to ensure that WFBS-SVC can communicate with registered Android devices:
