To establish trust for the root CAs, use **'Trusted CA certificate list for Network Protection'** as the key. In the value, add the **'comma separated list of certificate thumbprints (SHA 1)'**.

|Manage Network Protection detection for Open Networks|2- Enable (default), 1- Audit mode, 0 - Disable. Security admins manage this setting to enable, audit, or disable open network detection, respectively. In 'Audit' mode, alerts are sent only to the ATP portal with no end user experience. For end user experience, the config should be set to 'Enable' mode.|

> - To ensure comprehensive protection against Wi-Fi threats, users should enable location permission and select the "Allow All the Time" option. This permission is optional but highly recommended, even when the app is not actively in use. If location permission is denied, Defender for Endpoint will only offer limited protection against network threats and will only safeguard users from rogue certificates.
