If you will install
CylanceOPTICS
, add registry entries on the
Windows
device

On
Windows
devices, you must add two registry entries:
  • The first entry configures
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
    and
    CylanceOPTICS
    to use the
    CylanceHYBRID
    proxy server, running on port 8888. The
    CylanceHYBRID
    application uses a proxy server to help with communication between
    CylanceOPTICS
    devices and the
    CylanceHYBRID
    console.
  • The second entry disables the
    CylanceOPTICS
    cloud fallback feature. By default,
    CylanceOPTICS
    attempts to communicate directly with the Cylance cloud when a proxy connection is not available.
You may need to run the command prompt as an administrator.
  1. On the device, open a command prompt.
  2. To configure
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
    and
    CylanceOPTICS
    to use the
    CylanceHYBRID
    proxy server, running on port
    8888
    , type the following command:
    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Desktop /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d http://
    <CylanceHYBRID FQDN>
    :8888 /f
    Use
    http://
    and port
    8888
    in the command.
  3. Press
    Enter
    . This adds your
    CylanceHYBRID
    application information that is used when
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
    and
    CylanceOPTICS
    are installed.
  4. To disable the
    CylanceOPTICS
    cloud fallback feature, type the following command:
    reg add HKLM\software\Cylance\Optics /v DisableProxyBypass /t REG_SZ /d True /f
    If this key is present, the
    CylanceOPTICS
    agent will always attempt to establish a connection through the configured proxy server.
  5. Close the command prompt.
