3.3. Installing Protection on Computers and Virtual<br />

Machines<br />

To protect your physical and virtual endpoints, you must install a security agent<br />

on each of them. Besides managing protection on the local endpoint, the security<br />

agent also communicates with Control Center to receive the administrator's<br />

commands and to send the results of its actions.<br />

To learn about the available security agents, refer to “Security Agents” (p. 3).<br />

On Windows machines, the security agent can have two roles and you can install<br />

it as follows:<br />

1. As a simple security agent for your endpoints.<br />

2. As a Relay, acting as a security agent and also as a communication, proxy and<br />

update server for other endpoints in the network.<br />

Warning<br />

● The first endpoint on which you install protection must have the Relay role,<br />

otherwise you will not be able to remotely install the security agent on other<br />

endpoints in the same network.<br />

● The Relay endpoint must be powered-on and online in order for the connected<br />

agents to communicate with Control Center.<br />

You can install the security agents on physical and virtual endpoints by running<br />

installation packages locally or by running installation tasks remotely from Control<br />

Center.<br />

It is very important to carefully read and follow the instructions to prepare for<br />

installation.<br />

In normal mode, the security agents have a minimal user interface. It only allows<br />

users to check protection status and run basic security tasks (updates and scans),<br />

without providing access to settings.<br />
