Endpoint Management Overview
This article applies to all MetaDefender Endpoint releases deployed on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android systems.
Functionality
The MetaDefender Endpoint is a lightweight, unobtrusive application, designed to run on every device that is being managed by your account on either MetaDefender IT-OT Access or OPSWAT Central Management.
MetaDefender Endpoint delivers the device’s security status to the OPSWAT servers and, in turn, channels commands from the servers back to the device to resolve any issues.
Installation
The MetaDefender Endpoint gets installed on each of a user’s managed devices via an installer package available in the following file types:
- .msi for Windows
- .dmg for macOS
- .rpm or .deb for Linux
- .apk for Android
- .ipa for iOS
The installer package has the same features and behavior as a typical installer package of the same file type.
You will need administrator level privileges to install the MetaDefender Endpoint on a local device, or you can install it remotely using any of the domain controller group policy features that support dissemination and remote installation of applications.
