Added support for Linux distributions | Added support for the following Linux distributions:
The Linux driver can be downloaded as a separate installation package. This allows users to update the Linux driver without waiting for a new release of the CylancePROTECT Desktop Linux agent. This release has the latest drivers, so installing the Linux driver package is not needed. If a new Linux driver becomes available before the next agent release, you can choose to upgrade the Linux driver at that time.If the Linux driver is updated manually, the zone-based updating feature in the console will not upgrade or downgrade the driver, unless a new major version is assigned. This is to prevent the automated system from overwriting an action taken by an administrator. |
