The administration agent is an item distributed to all computers that use Endpoint Protection services. Once installed, it triggers the installation of the protection on the computers. It has three main functions:
- Establish a communication between the local processes on computers and Endpoint Protection servers.
- Establish a communication between local processes on computers and other agents.
- Establish a communication between other agents and Endpoint Protection servers (proxy function).
Further information about the agent and its main functions is available in the Protection deployment section.
