Download Agents

Purpose

This document describes the procedure for downloading agents in the portal.

Introduction

The Outpost24 Agent is primarily designed for mobile employees who are rarely office based, but still require vulnerability scanning of their assets. When working remotely, often via a VPN, it is not possible to run a remote vulnerability scan of these assets as it can have a serious impact on network performance. Using the Outpost24 Agent, makes it possible to get these results, with no impact on network capacity and is designed to run an equivalent of an authenticated network scan, giving details of missing patches, updates, and hotfixes for both OS and common business software. The Outpost24 Agent can be downloaded based on Operating System from the Portal, under Account > Download > Agents.
