Installing the
Windows Server
Sensor

The
Windows Server
Sensor (agent) runs as a
Windows
service in a compatible
Windows Server
system. It observes events within the
Windows Server
system and sends data records to
CylanceMDR
. The sensor captures the following events:
  • Hardware
  • Security
  • System
  • Windows Firewall
  • Windows Defender
  • PowerShell
  • File Integrity Monitoring
The
Windows Server
Sensor provides the following key capabilities:
  • If the sensor is installed on the same network as the domain controller,
    CylanceMDR
    enriches data with the relationship between users and IP addresses.
  • If the sensor is installed on the same network as the DHCP server,
    CylanceMDR
    enriches data with the relationship between hostnames and IP addresses, so assets can be tracked even when the IP address changes.
