What is
CylanceV
?

CylanceV
is a standalone (unmanaged)
Windows
application that can be used to discover and classify malware based on the same artificial intelligence (AI) based capabilities that power the
CylancePROTECT
Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP).
When in online mode,
CylanceV
can use the
CylanceINFINITY
cloud-based platform to score files, upload files for analysis, and download machine learning model updates.
CylanceV
enables the assessment of files that may be threats to your organization by providing:
  • On-demand scanning of directories or drives
  • Automated scanning of drives or directories for changed or new files
  • Visibility inside archived files, including encrypted archives
  • Validation of signed files to assess potential compromise
CylanceV
can be used through a GUI (
CylanceV
) or command-line (
CylanceVCL
), and can be run in both an online and offline mode.
CylanceV
and
CylanceVCL
are analysis tools, not protection tools. The purpose of
CylanceV
is to identify threats. To take action on those threats and protect your devices, use
CylancePROTECT Desktop
.
