Setting up the

CylancePROTECT

agent

Devices are added to your organization by installing the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent on each system. When they are connected to the

CylanceON-PREM

console, you can apply policies to manage identified threats and organize your devices based on your needs.

The agent is designed to use a minimal amount of system resources. The agent treats files or processes that execute as a priority because these events could be malicious. Files that are simply on disk (in storage but not executing) take a lower priority because while these could be malicious, they do not pose an immediate threat.

CylanceON-PREM

requires

CylancePROTECT Desktop

Agent version 1480 or higher to be installed on the endpoints. The agent also requires an installation parameter to configure the agent to communicate with your

CylanceON-PREM

virtual appliance

An installation token is required when installing the

CylancePROTECT Desktop

agent. The installation token is found in the management console. Using a web browser, log in to

CylanceON-PREM

and copy the installation token found on the

Settings

page. When initially deploying, you must limit the installation of agents to batches of 1,000 endpoints at a time to avoid issues with horizontal scaling during initial endpoint activity.
