Description
CylancePROTECT
cloud services
CylancePROTECT Desktop
detects and blocks malware using machine learning techniques to render new malware, viruses, bots, and future variants useless.
The
CylancePROTECT
cloud services use sophisticated AI, machine learning, and efficient mathematical models to process large volumes of data from global sources, retain and continuously learn from the patterns and properties of that data, and use that data to make intelligent predictions and decisions about the risk potential of software, files, and Internet destinations in near-real time. The
CylancePROTECT
services provide the threat scoring for files that are scanned by the
CylancePROTECT Desktop
agent. The file score determines what action the agent should take for the file, based on the device policy assigned to the agent.
Management console
The cloud-based management console allows you to view various threat-related events, manage device policies to configure agents on endpoints, and manage global lists for quarantined and safe files.
Devices with the
CylancePROTECT Desktop
agent
The
CylancePROTECT Desktop
agent must be installed on a device (endpoint) to protect the device.
CylancePROTECT Desktop
supports
Windows
,
macOS
, and
Linux
operating systems.
Local model
The
CylancePROTECT Desktop
agent on each endpoint maintains a secondary copy of the model that the
CylancePROTECT
services use to score files. If the agent is unable to connect to the
CylancePROTECT
services, the local model calculates file scores.
