Enable Work Mode in the
CylanceGATEWAY
 agent

If your administrator has set up
CylanceGATEWAY
 service for you, you can enable Work Mode in the
CylanceGATEWAY
 agent on
Windows
 and
macOS
 devices to access network resources safely and protect your device from suspicious and potentially malicious network activity. Your administrator can also force the agent to start and enable Work Mode automatically.
When Work Mode is enabled,
CylanceGATEWAY
 establishes secure connections between your device and your organization's network and the public Internet, analyzes your network activity, and applies network access policies managed by your administrator. To see a walkthrough on how to install and activate the
CylanceGATEWAY
 agent, see the How Do I install and activate the
CylanceGATEWAY
 agent.
If your administrator has configured the agent to enable Safe Mode, see Activate Safe Mode in the CylanceGATEWAY agent.
